Apple Unveils New Mac mini With M6 Processor
Apple has updated the Mac mini, equipping it with the next-generation M6 processor. The unveiling, which took place in August, came at a somewhat unusual time for the company. The new model succeeds the M4 Mac mini introduced about two years ago. The Mac mini's exterior remains unchanged. Apple has retained the previous compact design, with the main upgrade being the M6 processor used inside the device. The new Mac mini arrives at a time when supply constraints are affecting RAM and SSD components for Apple computers. On August 25, delivery times for some M4 Mac mini configurations were reportedly as long as two months. As a result, the M6 Mac mini may experience initial supply issues after it goes on sale. According to Apple, the M6 is manufactured using a new 2-nanometer process. The processor has a 12-core CPU consisting of 2 "super" cores, 4 high-performance cores, and 6 energy-efficient cores.
The company says the M6 can deliver 1.2 times the performance of the M5 in multicore tasks and up to 2.4 times the performance of the M1. The M6 also has a 12-core GPU, with each GPU core equipped with its own Neural Accelerator. According to Apple, peak GPU performance in AI computations is approximately 30% higher than that of the M5. Compared with the M1, this figure is reported to have increased by more than 8 times. The new processor supports up to 32 GB of unified memory. Memory bandwidth reaches up to 170 GB/s. Thus, although the new Mac mini does not differ from the previous generation in terms of design, the M6 processor enables it to deliver higher performance, particularly in AI, graphics, and multicore workloads. Additional information about the new model's price and all available configurations is expected to be announced.
