yeah remove the apple ram your losing duel channel and losing massive speed. you need one 16 stick in Channel A and 1 16 gig stick in Cannel B
So either have slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4
So Cinebench isn't affected. But Geekbench is? I guess 'this' advice from 9 to 5 Mac and you lose your dual channel speed?
ie. it has to be 1 and 3 (dual.)
2 and 4 (dual.)

yes thats how duel channel works and what i been trying to tell you lol.
the highest i got in cinebench was 5700 but seems Ram is not a big deal for that one (cinebench is just the CPU) while in geekbench the ram and duel channel/your RAM speed matter.
@Azrael9 i would do 1 and 3 just like how the imac came with the apple ram
I've been aware of dual channel RAM in the past. I remember reading a lot about it in the AMD cpu days. But it was like some arcane mystery for me. Until you see the effects of it in practice.
Reading about something and 'doing it' (oo-er...) are two different things. This is my 1st 'dual channel' bit of playing around.
I just tend to think about it as a dual carriage way or a 4 way motorway.
You put cars in 1 and 3.
Or you put cars in 2 and 4.
So you get more cars on the road and they all travel faster.
Apologies to those who hate cars being mentioned in computer threads.

People that did the benchmarks in some topic on here said that you loose significant benchmark points if you don't dual chanel the ram.
Single-Core Score: 1216

I had a bunch of stuff open though.
32GB Ram, 4x 8GB Crucial.
I just sold the original 8GB to some lucky other 2020 iMac owner for €18.
He must be glad to just save almost 14x that amount.

Since I have two 16gb Apple sticks, I wonder if I should try and find someone selling their 4gb sticks. I wonder if that would let me retain dual channel and 2667? 9to5 or MacRumors should do a piece on this issue.
Still Processing the first day of the delivery window. Thanks Mr. Logistics, fine tuned machine....
I ordered mine on the 9th. On Azreal's advice I upgraded the GPU to the 5700 on the 10th (which I expected might set me back just a tad). Ten days later, I'm still stuck on "processing". This wait is killing me...
Whoa... That's terrible. Was your configuration unusual in any way? My mother ordered her machine on the 10th and it has already shipped. I wonder which variables make some ship sooner rather than later?
- 10-core Intel Core i9
- 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory (Have 64GB ready to go when it's here)
- 2TB SSD storage
- Radeon Pro 5700 XT
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Standard glass
You clearly must have missed my story. Enjoy the ride.
I did not realize a reddit link would be posted as a full quote.
I had the same, ordered on the 6th, germany, early morning, but with 10gb ethernet.
You took this to reddit? Wow!
Why don't you instead write email to Tim Cook! or VP of sales?
There you have better chance for correction than reddit.
