The Best Mac Desktop I5

The Apple Mac mini “Core i5” 2.6 (Late 2014/Aluminum Unibody) features a 22 nm “Haswell” 2.6 GHz Intel “Core i5” (4278U) processor with two independent processor “cores” on a single chip, a 3 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM, various hard drive options, and an “integrated” Intel Iris 5100 graphics processor that shares system memory. Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n compatible), and Bluetooth 4.0 as well as an SDXC card slot. Compared to its predecessor, this model looks identical, but it has a more advanced architecture and graphics, Thunderbolt 2 capability, and faster Wi-Fi. On the other hand, it has a processor with half the number of cores, no longer supports Firewire, has RAM that can no longer be upgraded, and no longer supports two 2.5″ drives.

ProcessorsPart racehorse. All workhorse.In addition to being a great desktop computer, Mac mini powers everything from home automation to giant render farms. And now with eighth-generation Intel 6-core processor and Intel UHD Graphics 630, Mac mini has even more compute power for industrial-grade tasks. So whether you’re running a live concert sound engine or testing your latest iOS or iPadOS app, Mac mini is the shortest distance between a great idea and a great result. 6-core Intel Core i7 processor Up to 4.6GHz Turbo BoostCool story.Packing this much power into the same enclosure required an all-new thermal architecture – including all-flash storage, a bigger fan, expanded vents, and a redesigned power supply. 70% more MSP (maximum sustained power) 2X increased airflowMemoryClimb in. Geek out.Mac mini features high-performance 2666MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM memory for faster rendering, working with massive files, or running multiple virtual machines. And now you can configure even more memory – up to 64GB – to run even heavier workloads.StorageHaul apps.Mac mini now includes all-flash PCIe-based storage, with up to four times the read speeds of previous flash options. So you can load giant files and launch apps faster than ever.Apple T2 Security ChipMac mini features the Apple T2 Security Chip – second-generation custom Mac silicon desig

With third-generation Intel Core processors, Mac mini keeps up with computers twice its size. Hyper-Threading lets each core run two threads, so OS X multitasks even more efficiently. And an integrated memory controller connects fast 1600MHz memory directly to the processor, so it gets right to work on your data. In short, Mac mini is a little box of vroom. Intel HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to 65 percent more pixel-pushing performance than the previous generation of integrated graphics.
