From the ifixit teardown of the previous M1 model [1], it seems that all the compute is going in the chin.

They can't put the compute in the back of the display itself, while maintaining the same thickness like an iPad (which has the same CPU), because the room behind the displays is dominated by the speaker system, allowing the iMac to have surprisingly good audio quality despite being so thin.
