It's not the base model that Apple used in its comparison with the new M1 chip. It's a 2018 Mac mini with an 8th-generation Intel Core i5-8500B. Even better, we have a previous-generation Mac mini handy for comparison. That means we couldn't provide launch-day coverage, but it also means that this unit should be representative of any M1-powered Mac mini bought from an Apple retailer.Īt $699, Apple's cheapest Mac could actually wind up being a bargain, if its promised performance improvements were anything close to reality.
That's right, this isn't a press preview kit you're looking at, this is a real live Mac mini straight off the shelf of a major retailer. So, we did what any curious spectator would do we bought one just to see what the hype was all about. However, proclaiming things like "more than three times the performance," without substantiating those claims, will also spur its share of detractors. That's the sort of thing that could make a Mac lover's eyes pop. For instance, the company said that its new Apple Silicon offers upwards of 3.4 times the performance as the last-generation Mac mini with a quad-core Intel Core i3 processor. Apple's performance claims were incredible.
