Apple presents the Mac mini M2: more powerful and more affordable

Apple has decided to break the codes. Used to conferences at 7 p.m., the apple brand is presenting two new products from 3 p.m. on Tuesday, January 17. With the Mac mini M2, it updates an iconic device in its history. Marketed with a simple press release, the Mac mini M2 is above all touted by Apple as“more affordable”.

The Cupertino company is far from lying to us, since it offers the entry-level of its small desktop computer at €699, or €100 less than the one with the M1 chip released more than two years ago. The device is available in two versions, onewith an M2 processor and the other with the “Pro” version of the latter.

The higher-end model has 12 CPU cores (up from 10) and 19 GPU cores (up from 10). According to Apple's tests, the M2 version would be 3.5 times more powerful than the one sold with an Intel chip. With the “Pro” chip, the Mac mini becomes a real racing beast 4.7 times faster than its big brother.

In detail Apple announces that this new computer offers timeline rendering 9.8 times faster in Final Cut Pro than the reference version with an Intel processor.
