How's the new Mac mini run?

At the new launch, Apple finally upgraded the Mac Mini, which has not been updated for years. Although the supporting role of the Conference, but with the performance of the upgrade and price reduction, the new Mac mini attention is not low. According to foreign media reports, the new Mac mini Geekbench run the results of the current has also been released. John Poole, from Primate Labs, says the new Mac Mini, with a dual-core Haswell processor, has declined in multi-core performance compared to the old Mac Mini, which was equipped with a four-core Ivy Bridge processor two years ago.

As for why Apple canceled the four-Core i7 processor Mac Mini,john Poole that the dual-core Haswell processor can be connected to the motherboard via a single slot, but the quad-core Haswell processor needs to use several different slots, which means that if you want to make the new Mac With the mini four-core Haswell processor, Apple has to design two different motherboards, and the old Mac mini of different models used the same motherboard, because the old model of Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge does not have this slot incompatibility problem. John Poole also pointed out that Apple may have tried to launch the four-Core i7 version of the Mac Mini, but may be due to the additional cost of the two sets of motherboard design, so the Mac mini can not be guaranteed to keep the initial price of 499 U.S. dollars (mainland China for 3588 yuan).

Of course, despite the decline in multi-core performance, the new Mac Mini has undoubtedly surpassed the previous generation of Ivy Bridge processors in terms of single core performance, thanks to the adoption of the latest generation of Haswell processors.

The new Mac Mini, currently equipped with the Haswell processor, has been officially sold at the official Apple Store online store for $499 and is expected to be shipped in 3-5 business days (Mainland China is 3588 yuan and is expected to be shipped for 1-3 working days).
