Again, Apple still sells an Intel-based Mac mini alongside this one, with a 6-core 3.0GHz Intel Core i5, Intel UHD 630 graphics, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of solid-state storage. As noted above, the Mac mini (and its new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro siblings) has Apple's M1 system-on-a-chip, which includes an 8-core GPU, a CPU with four performance and four efficiency cores, a 16-core neural processing unit (NPU) called the Neural Engine, and a whole bunch of other stuff. ./cache/arstechnica-com-1437.html ./txt/arstechnica-com-1437.txt
