Hardware

The Mac mini comes with either an M2 chip or an M2 Pro chip, both built on a 5nm technology. The M2 chip was first seen in the MacBook Air 2022 and MacBook Pro 13-inch 2022.

Mac mini with M2 features an 8-core CPU with four high-performance and four high-efficiency cores, along with a 10-core GPU, paired with up to 24GB of unified memory and 100GB/s of bandwidth.

Apple says it is up to 50 percent faster in Adobe Photoshop compared to previous Mac Mini M1. Additionally, M2 enables the device to have ProRes acceleration, making video editing in Final Cut Pro more than twice as fast.

This year, Apple brings the Pro chip to the Mac mini. Featuring up to a 12-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, along with up to a 19-core GPU, M2 Pro has 200GB/s of memory bandwidth — double the amount in M2 — and supports up to 32GB of memory.
