Apple's New Mac Mini Shatters Performance Records: M4 Pro Takes the Crown

In a stunning development, Apple’s newest Mac mini isn’t just challenging the desktop hierarchy – it’s completely rewriting it. Fresh Geekbench scores reveal that the humble Mac mini, powered by the new M4 Pro chip, has become Apple’s speed champion, outperforming even the mighty Mac Studio and Mac Pro.

Mac Mini available for pre-order on Amazon.

Breaking the Speed Barrier

The numbers tell a remarkable story:

Single-core scores: ~3,700
Multi-core scores: ~22,000
20% faster single-core than M3 Pro
45% faster multi-core than M3 Pro
Surpasses M2 Ultra in raw CPU performance

The Secret Sauce: M4 Pro’s New Architecture

What makes this tiny powerhouse tick? Apple has fundamentally reimagined the M4 Pro’s design:

10 performance cores (up from 6)
4 efficiency cores (down from 6)
Optimized for raw processing power
Enhanced thermal management

Consider this: The most affordable Mac desktop is now outperforming machines costing thousands more. It’s like having a supercar engine in a compact car, and it’s sending shockwaves through the Mac ecosystem.

Even the base M4 model impresses, leveraging technology first seen in this year’s iPad Pro. While the M4 Pro steals the headlines, its smaller sibling benefits from improved thermal design in the Mac mini chassis, squeezing out even better performance than its iPad counterpart.

The Future is Looking Sweet!

This won’t be the end of the story – Apple’s expected to launch M4 Ultra versions of the Mac Studio and Mac Pro in 2025. But for now, the Mac mini sits on the performance throne, proving that sometimes the biggest surprises come in small packages.

Available for pre-order now and launching November 8, the M4 Mac mini represents a watershed moment in desktop computing. It’s not just a speed bump – it’s a democratization of pro-level performance.
