Can someone please clarify which model number is best? I'm having trouble searching for it. Currently using 18,2 on High Sierra. All seems fine but hey if theres any more power to squeeze out then I'm intrigued.
@NorthAmTransAm,
Either iMac18,2 or iMac18,3 should be fine for your i7-8700 CPU .... These iMacs used Z270 chipset and 7th Gen CPU's .. the only real difference between them is the display size (21" or 27") ... I use MacTracker to compare PC hardware to Mac hardware to find the best match for a System Definition (SMBIOS).
Cheers

Oh sweet! Thank you then. I wonder what the next Mac Pro will use. If 370 do you think we'll see a performance improvement with it being a little more in sync or is it a negligible gain?
