Product details
The Apple M1 chip takes Apple's most versatile desktop computer into a 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 you can't imagine. It's here. Apple's first chip designed specifically for the Mac. Packed with an incredible 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 System on a Chip (SoC) combines CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O and much more on one tiny chip. With incredible performance, specialized technologies and industry-leading power efficiency1, the M1 is not the next step for the Mac.
The M1 gives Mac mini incredible speed and power. The 8-core CPU delivers up to 3x faster processing power than the previous generation2 - all in the same iconic 19.7cm square design. The 8-core GPU in the M1 chip is the most advanced graphics processor Apple has ever created. Period. And it brings the world's fastest integrated graphics on a personal computer to Mac mini9, for an incredible 6x increase in graphics performance. That's an incredible amount of power - in an ultra-compact package. 16-core Neural Engine. The genius behind it all. Machine learning (ML) brings tremendous speed and automation to tasks like video analytics, voice recognition, image processing, and more. And the M1 chip comes with a 16-core neural engine and the full suite of ML technologies that enable Mac mini to deliver incredible ML performance.
macOS Big Sur is designed to make the most of the M1 chip's potential, enabling the Mac to perform much better and much more. Powerful updates for apps. A stunning design. Industry-leading features for data protection and world-class security. It's Apple's most powerful software ever - and it runs on Apple's most advanced hardware. The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the whole system more responsive. Mac mini wakes up from sleep almost instantly. Everyday tasks like browsing photos or browsing with Safari are faster. And all your most demanding apps get the power they need. Use powerful apps designed for the M1. All your existing apps continue to work with Rosetta 2. And for the first time, you can open your iPhone and iPad apps directly in macOS Big Sur. So you have access to the largest collection of apps ever for the Mac.
With integrated technologies on the M1 chip, Mac mini leaves computers many times larger behind - and uses up to 60% less power than the previous generation for demanding tasks. All it takes is RAM. The M1 chip brings up to 16GB of super-fast shared memory. This central pool of high-bandwidth, low-latency RAM lets apps efficiently share data between the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. So everything you do is fast and fluid. Mac mini has flash storage up to 2TB SSD18 for all your photo and video libraries, files, and apps. And with speeds up to 3.4 GB/s19, apps and files launch and load instantly.
With its compact size, incredible performance, and multiple ports, Mac mini is perfect for a wide range of tasks. And with the powerful M1 chip in a body that's just 19.7 inches on a side, you never know if there might be a Mac mini behind something.

Very good95/100
Even the first draft M1 delivers significantly more performance than all CPUs previously used in the Mac Mini - with less power consumption and noise. It also costs less.
Good70/100
A lot of power promised - and delivered: Although only a part of the software has been adapted to the new M1 processor, it provides a powerful speed boost: the MacBook Air is now a real sprinter, the small 13-inch Pro model is easily on a par with the 16-inch top model. The Mac mini's lower score is not due to its speed, but to its meagre equipment.
