I saw this in a video from a reputable YouTube channel, but you may well be right. The video might have been from AppleInsider or Max Tech or something similar because they pay attention to thermal throttling. In the video they noted the good thermal performance of the iMac’s i9-9900 and attributed that to the low TDP of the non-iGPU version, which is the i9-9900F. If I can find the video I’ll post a link.Hey @CaseySJ. Just thought I'd share that the new 27-inch 5K iMacs do use i9-9900K processors that do have an iGPU.

Oh this only applies IF one is running macOS 10.14.4 (18E2034) "Special Build?" Everyone else needs to have the ig-platform-id specified? Also, is there a way to upgrade to the special build from macOS 10.14.4 (18E227) or is fresh install required? I have been leaving everything blank for...www.tonymacx86.com
Out of curiosity, where did you get your info that they were using the locked i9-9900F CPUs that don't have an iGPU?
