Mac Mini and MacBook silicon- Apple’s new invention

Apple has come up with a couple of low end samples and Mac Mini is one amongst them. This 13 inch MacBook Pro was launched on Tuesday. It is true that Nvidia chip found in new Mac Mini is a low end sample but then it is extremely speedy at a couple of tasks. Both 13 inch Mac Mini and MacBook Pro offer Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz processors together with an Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics chip. Over and above, this standar silicon is somewhat same as the white MacBook. It comes with the same graphics and doesn’t provide the higher end 2.66GHz Intel processor. Rich Brown of CNET has mentioned clearly in his review that the performance of the new Mac Mini is good enough. When compared it with the Gateway SX2840-01, we come to know that 2.93GHz Core i3 processor of Gateway does outpace the core 2 duo. The Mac Mini Apple, the 13 inch MacBook Pro as well as the MacBook are more about Nvidia and less about Intel. To be more specific, core duo silicon of Intel is more or less the same when compared with the previous Mac Mini. The only difference lies in the speed Upgradation.

The graphics of Nvidia got a distinctive Upgradation. The new version of Nvidia GeForce 320M chipset comprises of 48 processing cores. This certainly higher when compared with the previous GeForce 9400M chipset that comprises of 16 cores. In addition to this the 320M does offers nearly dual the performance of the past 9400M as well as better transcoding. By transcoding we mean the ability of the chip to get converted into file formats. Brown also pointed out that most Mac Mini buyers find the provision of HD video performance pretty interesting. If you haven’t experienced the joy of owning a Mac Mini, do it now.

For the first time Apple introduces a low end sample, that’s Mac Mini
