Redesigned Mac mini and M4 Pro leaks: up to 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 64GB RAM, front-facing ports like Mac Studio – 9to5Mac

We already know Apple is revealing the start of its M4 Mac line this week. The M4 iMac was the first M4 Mac announced, and M4 versions of the MacBook Pro are also expected this week alongside a redesigned Mac mini. However, we won’t have to wait for an official announcement to get our first look at the new Mac mini. We also now know top specs for the yet-to-be-announced M4 Pro chip.

As part of the M4 iMac comparison page, Amazon has preemptively published top specs for the M4 Mac mini. This includes a visual that gives us a sneak peek at the Mac Studio-like design of the more compact Mac mini.

The M4 Mac mini will come with an M4 Pro variant, which is revealed for the first time as well. According to the comparison page, the M4 Mac mini can be configured with up to 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 64GB RAM, and 8TB SSD. The front ports appear to be two USB-C ports and possibly a 3.5mm headphone jack.

For comparison, the M2 Pro Mac mini could be configured up to 12-core COU, 19-core GPU, and with 32GB RAM.

We expect the new Mac mini to be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. For now, that clip art of the new design gives us an idea of what to expect: a compact Mac Studio with pro performance.

Lastly, the comparison chart suggests no Mac Studio update this week. This fits with our expectations.

Here’s the comparison chart as it appears on the Amazon store listing for the new M4 iMac:
