Your identifier fits seven different models of iMac, over three separate years. The EMC number is more defining.

Few iMac models have CPUs that are not soldered (ball) to the logic board, further you can only put in a CPU that Apple used in that model of iMac. You can not just stick anything in that fits - EFI problems would result.

For more Answers and information about this topic use the iMac CPU replacement tag at right.
