Key Points:
- The new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips offers varying memory bandwidth depending on RAM configuration, with the base M6 model providing 153GB/s for 16GB RAM and up to 170GB/s for 24GB or 32GB RAM, while the M5 Pro model reaches 307GB/s.
- The M6 Mac mini includes an Apple-designed N1 chip, introducing Thread support for improved smart home connectivity, a feature previously available only on iPhone 15 Pro models.
- The M6 Mac mini ships preinstalled with macOS Golden Gate (macOS 27), which will be officially released around mid-September, so buyers should be aware that the latest macOS version comes preloaded.
