The Apple M1 chip takes Apple’s most versatile, do-it-all desktop into another dimension. With up to 3x faster CPU performance. Up to 6x faster graphics. And Apple’s most advanced Neural Engine for up to 15x faster machine learning. Get ready to work, play and create on Mac mini with speed and power beyond anything you ever imagined.
Supercharged by the Apple M1 chip
Small chip. Giant leap.
It’s here. Apple’s first chip designed specifically for Mac. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and so much more onto a single tiny chip. With incredible performance, custom technologies and industry-leading power efficiency,¹ M1 is not a next step for Mac — it’s another level entirely.
Versatility.
Fits in. Rocks out.
With its compact size, incredible performance and wide array of ports,Mac mini is perfect for a surprising range of uses like gaming anddigital art creation. And with the powerful M1 chip unleashed withinits 19.7-centimetre square frame, you never know where you’ll find aMac mini hard at work — from home offices to music studios and more.
Connections and expansion
Connect and conquer.
With two screaming-fast Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.0, Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet, Mac mini is up for anything and everything.
Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using pre-production 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip and 16GB of RAM. Performance per watt refers to the ratio of peak CPU performance to average power consumed using selected industry-standard benchmarks. Comparison made against high-performing CPUs for notebooks and desktops commercially available at the time of testing. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro.
Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using pre-production Mac mini systems with Apple M1 chip, and production 3.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i3–based Mac mini systems, all configured with 16GB of RAM and 2TB SSD. Pre-release Final Cut Pro 10.5 tested using a 55-second clip with 4K Apple ProRes RAW media, at 4096×2160 resolution and 59.94 frames per second, transcoded to Apple ProRes 422. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.
