macOS Monterey System Requirements

Apple released which devices are eligible, but I'm looking for raw metrics (RAM? Processor? Storage size? Graphics memory? Etc), both minimum and recommended, on the iMac and Mac Mini lines.


Any info is greatly appreciated.

The only published information is already on Apple's website. However, as advised the system requirements will be virtually the same as Big Sur.


If it is any help, I have been running pre-release versions of Monterey for months and it works great. I own 2 2020 27" iMacs. Both have:


  • Intel i9 CPU
  • Standard glass
  • 40GB of RAM. (I bought 32GB (2x16GB) of OWC RAM and upgraded myself. )
  • Radeon Pro GPU with 8GB RAM
  • 2TB SSD


Both machines operate flawlessly, only 1 is on Monterey. The other is on Big Sur.
