The Mac mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) features a top-class quad-core 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 (3720QM) processor, 4GB of RAM (PC2-10600), a 1 TB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (5400 RPM) and Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics with 512MB of integrated memory. The line-up of late 2012 got the faster and more elaborate Intel Ivy Bridge processor and up-to-date USB 3.0 ports. The design is the same: it is a cuboid aluminum casing with an internal power unit, a Thunderbolt port, a removable panel on the bottom to provide an access to upgradeable RAM and no internal optical drive. If you need more info on our test procedure, contact us.The Mac mini (2.6GHz Intel Core i7, Late 2012) is the build-to-order iteration of the Mac mini (2.5GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012) but with a faster top-class Intel processor. If you have a 'later 2012' iMac with a different CPU or GPU, please send us your results so we can add it to the graphs. Since we provided the links to these four benchmarks, you can run the same tests on your current Mac. Without a doubt, the high-end 'late 2012' iMacs with Core i7 CPU and GTX 675/680MX GPU will trounce the three Macs featured on this page in all four benchmarks. As you can see it has the CPU power of the Mac mini with the Quad-Core i7 and the GPU power of the iMac with the same GT 650M GPU.

It answers the question, "Which is faster?" The answer is, "It depends."įor perspective, we included the 'mid 2012' 15" Retina MacBook Pro with 2.7GHz Quad-Core i7 CPU and GeForce GT 6650M GPU. But the main purpose of this initial test page is to show how a popular configuration of a 21.5 inch 'late 2012' iMac with 2.9GHz Quad-Core i5 CPU and GeForce GT 650M GPU compares to a popular configuration of 'late 2012' Mac mini with 2.6GHz Quad-Core i7 CPU and Intel HD 4000 GPU. This snapshot of CPU and GPU performance is far from complete until we get our hands on the 'late 2012' 27" iMacs.
It's Intel HD 4000 is not as strong in OpenGL acceleration. The iMac (and Retina MacBook Pro) beat up on the Mac mini again. ( HIGHER number in Frames per Second is FASTER) We ran the default setting at 1440x900 resolution. Unigine Heaven 3 is a cross-platform benchmark that uses 26 flyby/walkthrough scenes to measure DirectX or OpenGL performance. The Mac mini suffers here because it is forced to use the CPU to render the OpenCL model. The results are measured in Thousands of Samples per Second. The test model used is Sala with 488,000 triangles. LuxRender's LuxMark 2 benchmarks OpenCL effects render speed. ( HIGHER number means FASTER.)Īgain, the Mac mini beats the iMac because the mini's Quad-Core i7 supports hyperthreading. The overall rating combines the four tests. It is multi-threaded and multi-core aware. Geekbench 2.4 measures processor (integer and floating point speed) and memory (performance and bandwidth). The iMac's Quad-Core i5 does not so it only runs 4 threads. The slower clocked Mac mini beats the iMac because the mini's Quad-Core i7 supports hyperthreading it's running 8 threads. Rather than time in seconds, it gives a speed rating.
Late 2012 mac mini i7 code#
Maxon's Cinebench 11.5 cross-platform benchmark uses code from Cinema 4D to stress all available cores of a CPU. RMBP 2.7 = 'mid 2012' (15") MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Quad-Core i7 with GeForce GT 650M GPU, 512GB factory flash drive, and 16GB of RAM Mini 2.6 = 'late 2012' Mac mini 2.6GHz Quad-Core i7 with Intel HD 4000 GPU, 1TB Fusion Drive, and 16GB of RAM IMac 2.9 = 'late 2012' (21.5") iMac 2.9GHz Quad-Core i5 with GeForce GT 650M GPU, 1TB HDD, and 8GB of RAM

Plus you can easily run these tests on your own Mac for comparison. This page uses CPU and GPU intensive benchmark results as an appetizer until we can post some real world test results. We don't usually post on Saturdays but I know how anxious you are to see some hard data on the 'late 2012' iMac.
