Pricing on the M1 Mac mini starts at $699 for 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, while a model with a 512GB SSD is available for $899, The Intel model with 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i5 chip and UHD graphics 630 is available starting at $1,099.Īt this time, buyers should hold off on the 2018 and early 2020 Intel-based Mac mini until the performance differences between the Intel chips and the new Apple M1 chips become clearer. The M1 Mac mini has two Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and Ethernet. Other features include WiFi 6 support for faster WiFi speeds, and a Secure Enclave for improved security. The M1 Mac mini supports a single display in full 6K resolution and one 4K display over HDMI, while the prior-generation models support up to two 5K displays.

Machine learning workloads are up to 15x faster thanks to the 16-core Neural Engine, and the Mac mini is 5x faster than the best-selling Windows desktop in its price range.
In the Mac mini, the M1 chip's CPU offers 3x faster performance than the previous-generation entry-level model and the GPU offers 6x better graphics performance. The M1 in the Mac mini has an 8-core CPU with four high-efficiency cores and four high-performance cores along with an integrated GPU that has 8 cores.
The M1 chip in the Mac mini is Apple's first System on a Chip for Mac, integrating GPU, CPU, RAM, and other components for improved performance and efficiency. This is the first significant update Apple has made to the Mac mini since October 2018, and the new M1 models are sold alongside a higher-end model with a 6-core Intel Core i5 chip. Apple in November 2020 updated the Mac mini to introduce new low-end and mid-tier models equipped with the M1 chip, which is the first Apple-designed Arm-based chip for Mac that Apple has introduced.
