Key Takeaways
- Information regarding the upcoming Mac Mini was released by Amazon.
- It is anticipated that the new Mac mini will only come in Silver; Space Black will not be an additional color option.
- It features a 14-core CPU, a 20-core GPU, M4 and M4 Pro chip choices, and up to 64GB of RAM.
Amazon has reportedly leaked important information about the upcoming Mac mini, including possible enhancements and new combinations, before Apple’s formal presentation.
The information, which was found in a comparison table for the next iMac listing on Amazon, suggests that the small desktop computer has undergone considerable advancements.
The now-removed leaked information suggests that the next Mac Mini will include:
- The M4 and M4 Pro CPUs come with 64GB of RAM, a 20-core GPU, and a 14-core CPU as options.
Compared to earlier versions, this represents a significant performance improvement. Furthermore, the RAM size doubles the unified memory limit of 32GB. It is anticipated that storage options would continue to be limited to 8 TB, just like the previous model. Although it hasn’t been verified, a hazy image in the description indicates that the gadget will also have two front-facing USB-C connections, possibly Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Reduced Size, Known Color, and Potential New Features
The data shows that the new Mac mini is significantly smaller than the Mac Studio, which is consistent with previous rumors that it will be about the size of an Apple TV. Notably, this disclosure supports earlier rumors regarding a smaller Mac mini made by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.
The ad states that the Mac mini will only be available in Silver, like its current form, which may disappoint fans looking for a new Space Black color choice. Due to the low resolution of the leaked graphic, it is challenging to confirm the image’s suggestion of a headphone connector.
The characteristics should be correct because the comparison chart most likely originates from Apple. All indications suggest that Apple will make an official announcement with additional information on the new Mac mini in the next few days, most likely by Wednesday.
Early in October, the Mac M4 Pro was leaked
The first M4 MacBook Pro was featured in a YouTube video that appeared from the Russian tech channel Wylsacom, which increased anticipation for Apple’s impending product launches.
Key specifications were disclosed in the October 6 unboxing video:
- a CPU and GPU with 10 cores
- 512GB of storage, 16GB of RAM, and multiple connections, including MagSafe, HDMI, Thunderbolt 4, and SD card slots
With a single-core score of 3864 and a multi-core score of 15288, the M4 chip’s performance was demonstrated in benchmark tests from Geekbench. This was a notable boost over the M3’s 3,000 single-core score. A 25% increase in GPU performance was also mentioned in the video; however, there were not many overall design modifications.
As leaks continue to surface, anticipation is building for Apple’s planned November 1 launch and public unveiling of the new M4 Macs at the end of October.
