Mac mini: M6, more AI and better connectivity<\/h2>\n\n

The Mac mini arrives with a choice of M6 or M5 Pro chip. The M6, the other big unveiling of the day, is the first on a 2 nm process and comes with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, two 16-core Neural Engines, and neural accelerators in every graphics core.<\/p>\n\n

It delivers up to four times the AI performance<\/strong> and get Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, 2.5 Gb Ethernet as standard (previously 1GB), and the genlock system. The M6 model offers Thunderbolt 4 and the M5 Pro makes the jump to Thunderbolt 5.<\/p>\n\n

After the price adjustment a few weeks ago, the new Mac mini with M6 starts at $899 while the model with M5 Pro starts at $1,699.<\/p>\n\n

Mac Studio: the M5 Ultra takes things much further<\/h2>\n\n

The new Mac Studio arrives with M5 Max and M5 Ultra and makes a huge leap in performance. You can configure it with up to 36 CPU cores, 80 GPU cores, 512 GB of unified memory, and 1.2 TB\/s of bandwidth. It’s an enormous change for professional workflows and local AI models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

With PCIe 6 SSD, Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, genlock, and support for up to eight displays, you can link multiple machines via RDMA to build a true home datacenter. The lineup starts at $2,499 and the 512 GB option will be available starting in October.<\/p>\n\n

Alongside these Macs, after years of development on the M5 and M6 chips, Apple has updated the Magic Keyboard, replacing the text on the keys with icons, and has launched a more affordable new Polishing Cloth.
