Hows the 5500 GPU thats in the 2020 iMac compared to the 580 from last year's 2019 iMac? Is it a large improvement?

In Windows computers the 5500 and 580 are pretty similar, the 5500 benefits from newer architecture but it’s no guarantee that there will be any benefits from that, it depends what you use it for.

It’s a marginal improvement.

Totally right. It's break even.

It makes zero sense to upgrade from 2019 27 inch iMac to 2020 27 iMac then if there difference is marginal

You need to invest more. But no, it doesn’t worth it. 2019 was a very capable machine.

It already makes zero sense to upgrade to a new computer only a year after you bought it.
