To a i7 processor and still be compatible with El Captain or Sierra. So far from what I can understand these two i7 processors Apple used in the iMac 27"

So far from what I can understand these two i7 processors Apple used in the iMac 27"
* Core i7 (I7-2600'''S''') 2.8 GHz - '''S''' being the lower power version of the i7
* Core i7 (I7-2600) 3.4 GHz - Locked i7
And then there is also this CPU:
* Core i7 (I7-2600'''K''') 3.4 GHz - '''K''' meaning its unlocked & overclockable
