The exact numbers vary wildly depending on the task, but you can expect the Intel HD 5000 or Iris 5100 GPUs in the 2014 Mac mini to beat the Intel HD 4000 GPU in the 2012 model by between 15 and 80 percent.Д®nergy Efficiency: As mentioned earlier, this isnвЂ™t a huge deal for most users, but the 2014 Mac mini uses half the power at idle compared to the 2012 model. Graphics: If you plan to use your Mac mini for any kind of gaming or computational work that leverages the GPU, the 2014 mini will offer a bit more performance. Okay, so IвЂ™ve been pretty hard on the 2014 Mac mini so far, and while I think itвЂ™s a terrible deal for most users, there are still a few reasons that a new 2014 model makes sense over a used 2012-era mini. Is such a drastic loss of performance worth saving just a few watts at idle? Who Would Buy This Thing? Even with a reduction in idle power usage (which IвЂ™ll touch on in a moment), the 2012 Mac mini was already one of the most efficient desktop computers on the market.

Apple also cut the entry level price by $100 to boot, bringing the system back to its original, psychologically significantВ $499 price point.Д«ut it didnвЂ™t take long for even this arguablyВ consolation prize-style update to begin to unravel. Finally.В Sure, the new model sported the same form factor as its predecessor, and there was seemingly nothing radical to justify AppleвЂ™s delay in updating the product, but at least the Mac mini could finally get the вЂњnewвЂќ features that have been available on other Macs for over a year, such as PCIe-based flash storage, Haswell processors, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Mac mini fans waited a heck of a long time for an update and, upon witnessing AppleвЂ™s unveiling of the 2014 Mac mini during OctoberвЂ™s iPad event, issued a collective sigh of relief.
