Apple has unveiled its latest Mac mini model, which offers either the brand-new M6 chip or the M5 Pro chip previously announced. The M6 chip boasts a 12-core CPU and a 12-core GPU, a leap from the 10-core CPU and GPU found in the M5 chip. One standout feature of the M6 chip is its first-ever dual Neural Engine, comprising two 16-core engines, compared to previous chips that only had a single 16-core engine.
According to Apple, the M6-equipped Mac mini delivers up to 40% faster CPU performance, up to four times faster AI task processing, up to twice the graphics performance, and up to twice the storage speed compared to the previous-generation model using the 10-core M4 chip, 32GB of unified memory, and 2TB of storage.
