Summary
Neither Mac desktop has undergone any physical changes on the exterior, but the long-awaited update brings these Macs back into stock after being difficult to buy for most of this year. Skipping the M5 entirely, the Mac Mini now comes in two flavors: the M6 and the M5 Pro. New here are the performance cores, which Apple says are designed to speed up multithreaded tasks while preserving efficiency. The M6 comes with a faster GPU too, adding two more cores to the mix for a total of 12 GPU cores.
