If you’re considering whether to buy the entry-level or the higher-end model, our Speedmark 8 results show that the $799 model was 25 percent faster overall, with the biggest gains being in MathematicaMark and Cinebench CPU, which were 78 percent and 53 percent faster, respectively, than the new $599 Mac mini. The actual maximum RAM of each Mac mini is listed below along with its compatible RAM type, default amount of RAM pre-installed, common identifiers suitable to identify a Mac mini in order to determine its RAM capacity, and more. The SO-DIMMs should be DDR元L-1600 (DDR3L PC3L-12800, CL11, unbuffered, non-ECC, DDR3L-1600, 1. Mac Specs > By Capability > Actual Maximum RAM > Mac mini Models. For a late-2012 Mac mini, see According to them, this Mac can go up to 16GB (2 SO-DIMMs of 8GB each). On the other hand, the previous high-end model, with its discreet AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics, was faster on GPU-intensive tests, like Portal 2 (9 percent more frames per second) and Cinebench OpenGL (24 percent more frames per second). I always consult Crucial's memory configuration tool. Apple Mac Mini 2012 - Intel i5 2.5Ghz Storage: 250GB SSD + 500GB HDD 8GB RAM. MathematicaMark was 78 percent faster on the new system, Cinebench CPU tests took 53 percent less time to complete, and HandBrake was 24 percent faster than the old model.
The older system took nearly three times as long to complete our Photoshop action script.Īs you’d expect, processor-intensive tests that can use all four cores (and eight virtual cores, thanks to the Core i7’s Hyper Threading technology) showed the new high-end Mac mini to be much faster than the 2011 high-end Mac mini with a dual-core 2.5GHz Core i5 processor. The 2012 Mac mini was 68 percent faster and finished the Cinebench CPU test in half the time of the 2010 model. However, the Mac mini only had two RAM slots and 16GB modules were not available. That processor has a max memory size of 32GB. We also looked at the performance differences between the new low-end model and a mid-2010 entry-level Mac mini with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor. When the 2012 Mac mini was first released, everyone was excited to see an upgraded quad-core processor, the Intel Core i7-3615QM. The new Intel HD Graphics 4000 helped the 2012 low-end Mac mini beat last year’s system by 60 percent in the Cinebench OpenGL test and by 27 percent in Portal 2. In our testing, we found the new $599 Mac mini to be 31 percent faster overall than its predecessor.
