According to a report by 9To5Mac, the M4 Mac mini will be available with a new M4 Pro chip in addition to the standard M4 chip.
This configuration would enable the Mac mini to be equipped with up to a 14-core CPU and a 20-core GPU.
Furthermore, the new Mac mini is expected to support up to 64GB of unified memory and an 8TB SSD for storage.
In contrast, the current generation M2 Pro Mac mini can only be configured with a maximum of a 12-core CPU, a 19-core GPU, and 32GB of unified memory.
While the report does not specify the connectivity options for the new Mac mini, it is likely that the model will eliminate USB-A ports in favour of additional USB-C ports.
The new Mac mini is expected to include up to five USB-C ports, with three located at the back and two at the front.
Furthermore, it is anticipated to feature an HDMI port, a headphone/microphone jack, and Ethernet connectivity.
The device is also expected to include an internal power supply unit, despite its compact design.
