This should place the M1 Mac mini well ahead of the Core i7 model as well, but Apple only has one processor choice for the new model, so the comparison at the given price is fair.

The new M1 Mac mini advances that strategy much further than was possible with the Intel-based models.

There are only so many components that can fit in such tiny cases.

Of course, the purpose of most computers is not to be the tiniest ever, but to serve a useful purpose and there is a trade-off with size. Eventually, PCs became available as small as a pack of gum, as with Intel’s Compute Stick. PC manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon and began producing similar Windows systems. The Mac mini was introduced 15 years ago, it was the first full-featured computer at such a small size. Apple also announced two new MacBooks, each running the same M1 system on a chip, that includes an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural processor. When Apple announced its latest Mac mini, it also revealed the incredible new M1 chip that raises the tiny desktop to new heights of performance.
