References to Mystery Mac Mini have been found in the Apple Studio screen delivery firmware, suggesting Mac Mini can receive refresh immediately. Steve Troughton-Smith’s developer explores references and distributed it on Twitter, spurring discussions about whether Mac Mini – assuming it really happens – will be equipped with another iteration of the M1 chip, or may be increased to. However – M2 has not been released.
This reference is encouraging, but gives us a little to continue. One thing is almost certain – there will be, in the end, become a new Mac Mini. However, it is difficult to know whether the mini is at the top of the Apple priority list. After all, Mac Mini has been upgraded to Apple’s own silicon. The latest version of the M1 chip sports device. Apple still has a device in its Arsenal running on Intel chips, so it can have more urgent problems in hand than update Mac Mini.
According to 9to5mac, which quoted anonymous sources, the upcoming Mac Mini has received two code names, both of them according to the M2 Apple chip. However, rumors must remain hesitant whether Apple can release Mac Mini which is immediately, with Intel-based devices still waiting for their M1 increase.
Switching to M2 could be a big deal
According to the code name excavated by 9to5mac, it will appear that two new Mini Mac devices will be released soon or are in the testing phase behind the scenes on Apple. The J473 model of Mac Mini is said to be powered by the basic M2, while J474 will accommodate enhanced M2 pro. Like what specifications we might expect from this chip – our estimation remains in the air. After all, the M2 chip has not been officially launched by Apple itself, and Apple has not provided an indication that it will reveal the details outside the event centered on computing products that will accommodate chips. Many Ultra M1 ways are very strong down without warning, one day will be told that M2 will be released on the new Apple computer. Until then, everything was just rumors.
Reports from publications like Macrumor claim that the basic M2 chip will arrive with eight CPU cores. However, it should be, the supply speed and efficiency increase over M1, which with it will share the same number of core (if this is proven to be true). Macrumor expects a chip built on the 4NM TSMC process knot. Even though the CPU core remains the same number, M2 is said to come with GPU 9 and 10-core options.
What this means for Mac Mini is still just guessing at this time. Updating to M2 has the potential to be a big problem, depending on the type of work of users who plan to do it – and the number of user processing power processing has the potential to utilize. However, it is also possible the difference between the potential of M2 Pro / Max / Ultra will grow proportionally with the power of the chip. Apple will definitely release several more products this year, after the spring launch of Mac Studio and Studio views. Very likely we can hear about the next Mac Mini in the near future, maybe with the release date falls 2022. We are looking at you, WWDC 2022.
