The New M1 Mac mini Comes Apple's 8-Core & GPU, Delivers 3x More CPU Performance, and Only Costs $699

Soon after announcing its 5nm M1 fleck that boasts a whopping 16 billion transistors, Apple announced the new MacBook Air, followed by the second product to feature the custom silicon, the Mac mini. With the new viii-core CPU and 8-core GPU packed into a single compact chassis, potential customers can look a ton of performance, and it costs less doing so. Here are more details on Apple'south latest product.

Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Technologies had this to say nigh the M1 running in the Mac mini.

"There has never been a bit like M1, our breakthrough SoC for the Mac. Information technology builds on more than a decade of designing industry-leading chips for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, and ushers in a whole new era for the Mac. When information technology comes to low-power silicon, M1 has the earth'south fastest CPU core, the world's fastest integrated graphics in a personal reckoner, and the amazing car learning performance of the Apple Neural Engine. With its unique combination of remarkable performance, powerful features, and incredible efficiency, M1 is past far the best chip nosotros've e'er created."

The previous-generation Mac mini armed with a quad-cadre is actually three times slower than the M1 Mac mini variant in CPU operation. As well, Apple states that the new Mac mini tin can deliver 6x faster graphics, leading to improvements in graphically-intensive apps and games. Its compact form factor is definitely going to be a selling betoken for many customers, and Apple tree has a comparing for that too.

Information technology claims that the M1 Mac mini is ane-tenth the size and 5-times faster than a similarly-priced PC. Since the new auto besides has an agile cooling solution, the processor'southward clock speeds should run at higher sustained frequencies. This is first-class news for users who continue to burn down upward CPU-intensive applications and demand the extra functioning kick. You also go Thunderbolt support via two USB iv ports, along with an Ethernet jack, a 3.5mm audio port, and an HDMI port.

Coming to the price, the M1 Mac mini costs $699, making it $100 cheaper than the Intel-based version. Apple's latest product is available to society now, and if we were yous, we'd forget about any Apple tree-branded car with an Intel sticker on it.
