In addition to being a great desktop computer, Mac mini powers everything from home automation to giant render farms. And now with eighth-generation Intel 6-core processor and Intel UHD Graphics 630, Mac mini has even more compute power for industrial-grade tasks. So whether you're running a live concert sound engine or testing your latest iOS or iPadOS app, Mac mini is the shortest distance between a great idea and a great result.
• 6-core Intel Core i5 processor
• Up to 4.1GHz Turbo Boost
Cool story.
Packing this much power into the same enclosure required an all-new thermal architecture - including all-flash storage, a bigger fan, expanded vents, and a redesigned power supply.
• 70% more MSP (maximum sustained power)
• 2X increased airflow
Memory
Climb in. Geek out.
Mac mini features high-performance 2666MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for faster rendering, working with massive files, or running multiple virtual machines. And now you can configure even more memory - up to 64GB - to run even heavier workloads.
Storage
Haul apps.
Mac mini now includes all-flash PCIe-based storage, with up to four times the read speeds of previous flash options. So you can load giant files and launch apps faster than ever.
Apple T2 Security Chip
Mac mini features the Apple T2 Security Chip - second-generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make Mac mini even more secure. The T2 Security Chip consolidates several controllers into one, and includes a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities.
Strength in numbers.
Mac mini is optimized for performance across the board. Here's how it compares to the previous generation.
Connections and Expansion
I/O, I/O, it's off to work you go.
With a variety of ports, Mac mini is ready for a variety of workflow configurations. Thunderbolt 3 is our most powerful and versatile port ever - and Mac mini has four of them. The new HDMI 2.0 port delivers more bandwidth than its predecessor, so you can enjoy faster frame rates.
Thunderbolt 3 gives you some seriously productive possibilities. Transfer data at up to 40Gb/s. Charge and power external devices. Connect up to two 4K displays - and even a third with HDMI 2.0 - or one 5K display. Or pair Mac mini with an eGPU for desktop-class graphics performance.
• Transfer data up to 40Gb/s
• Charge and provide power from any port
• Connect with eGPU
• Run up to two 4K displays
Versatility
To the desktop. And beyond.
Because of its size, performance, and wide array of ports, Mac mini goes where no Mac has gone before. And now with even more cores packed into its 7.7-inch-square frame, you never know where you'll find a Mac mini - or dozens of them - hard at work.
• Build and Render Farms
With up to 6-core processors and faster 2666MHz memory, Mac mini is ideal for batching out massive Xcode builds or rendering and encoding video.
• Xcode Server
Up to six CPU cores and superfast I/O make Mac mini the perfect Xcode companion to build your apps at top speed while running automated tests in the background.
• Live Performance
With its lightning-quick SSD, ripping-fast performance, and small footprint, Mac mini becomes a live musical instrument with MainStage on some of the world's largest concert tours.
• Digital Art and Signage
From jaw-dropping performance art to giant immersive digital billboards, Mac mini drives some of the biggest and brightest digital displays with its powerful processors, high-performance memory, and fast, versatile I/O.
macOS Catalina
The power of Mac. Taken further.
Featuring all-new, dedicated apps for music, TV, and podcasts, smart new features in the apps you use every day, and Sidecar, which lets you use iPad as a second Mac display.
