However, there are some who believe that the next generation of Mac Mini can reserve surprises and news only inside, leaving all practically unchanged outside, in the body. The voice is authoritative and belongs to Ming Chi Kuo, who let it slip in a tweet that “the new Mac Mini in 2023 will likely remain with the same design as it is now“So we could expect the same size and shape, as well as a classic aluminum unibody chassis – no plexiglass then, as Jon Prosser previously suggested.
The assumptions regarding the internal components still remain valid: a version with an M2 processor is expected, the top one could instead be based on the Pro variant. In short:
-
M2:
- codename: Staten
- based on Apple A15
- Octa-core CPU (4x Avalanche + 4x Blizzard, respectively for performance and efficiency)
- Deca-core GPU
-
M2 Pro:
- based on Apple A15
- 12-core CPU (8x performance + 4x efficiency)
