Apple Mac Mini (2023) Specifications
Performance Boost With M2 Series Silicons
The 2023 model of the Mac Mini comes with the option for either M2 or M2 Pro SoC. With the M2 chip, you get an 8-core CPU with four high-performance and four high-efficiency cores, along with a 10-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. For instance, the M2 has a 15% faster CPU, 35% faster GPU, and a 40% faster neural engine compared to M1.
With the M2 silicon, the new Mac Mini can simultaneously play up to two streams of 8K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps or up to 12 streams of 4K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps. Adding on, compared to Mac Mini with M1, Apple claims that the M2 Mac Mini has:
- Up to 2.4x faster ProRes transcode in Final Cut Pro.
- Up to 50 percent faster filter and function performance in Adobe Photoshop.
- Up to 35 percent faster gameplay in Resident Evil Village.
On the other hand, the M2 Pro brings pro-level performance to Mac Mini for the first time. Featuring up to a 12-core CPU along with up to a 19-core GPU, M2 Pro has 200GB/s of memory bandwidth—double the amount in M2. Moreover, the Mac Mini with M2 Pro can simultaneously play up to five streams of 8K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps (three more than M2 Mac Mini), or up to 23 streams of 4K ProRes 422 video at 30 fps.
