Cinebench Open GL tests on the 15-inch 2.6GHz Core i7 Retina MacBook Pro with 500GB flash storage and 8GB of RAM were 70 percent faster than the BTO Mac mini. And the Mac mini’s GPU was totally overwhelmed by the graphics performance of the 15-inch Retina display MacBook Pros and their discreet nVidia GeForce GT 650M graphics with 1GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory.


Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1000 (which is the score of an Intel Core. The data on this chart is gathered from user-submitted Geekbench 5 results from the Geekbench Browser. The BTO Mac mini failed to beat the 2011 high-end Mac mini in Portal 2 and Cinebench Open GL tests. Benchmark results for the Mac mini (Late 2014) with an Intel Core i7-4578U processor can be found below.

The scores would’ve been even higher had Apple offered a discreet graphics upgrade alternative to the capable-if somewhat lackluster-Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics. That makes sense, seeing how the high-end 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro has the same 2.6GHz quad-core Core i7 processor as the BTO Mac mini and uses flash storage instead of standard rotational hard drives. The BTO Mac mini’s combination of extra RAM, a speedy SSD, and a quad-core Core i7 processor was so good, its performance earned a Speedmark 8 score just below the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros. As you can see, our benchmark tests bear that out. (A Fusion Drive is not Apple’s special implementation of a hybrid drive, which houses a SSD and a hard drive in one mechanism.) Data is written to the SSD first, so the idea is that you get SSD speeds but with the capacity of standard hard drives. Fusion Drive gives you the best of both worlds by bringing together a separate 120GB SSD and 1TB hard drive and presenting them to both the user and applications as a single drive. SSDs are fast as all get out, but they have very limited capacity and they cost a lot more than traditional drives. Now if this happens, you dont need to worry.5 GHz (Mid 2011), Mac mini (Late.5 PixelSense. I’ll dig deeper into the Fusion Drive in my next article, but in brief, Fusion Drive is Apple’s answer to the high-price-per-gigabyte problem of solid-state drives. We also offer hard drive upgrades for most MacBook models. The BTO Mac mini’s PCMark productivity test score (using VMWare Fusion) was three times higher than the high-end standard configuration’s score. The standard configuration $799 Mac mini with its 5400-rpm hard drive took more than three times as long to complete our copy file and uncompress file tests as the Fusion Drive did in the BTO Mac mini. Hello all, I have an older mac mini that has two drives in it, I have a 750 gig Seagate 7200 RPM in the upper drive slot, and a 500 Gig hitachi 5400 RPM drive in the lower slot (the stock one). We timed the import and processing time for 200 photos in Aperture.But it was the Fusion Drive that really kicked the BTO Mac mini into overdrive.

We ran the WorldBench 6 multitasking test on a Parallels 6 VM running Windows 7 Professional. We ran the Evaluate Notebook test in MathematicaMark 7. We recorded how long it took to render a scene with multiprocessors in Cinebench and ran that application’s OpenGL, frames per second test. We used Handbrake to encode four chapters from a DVD previously ripped to the hard drive to H.264.

For our multitasking test, we timed the Photoshop test again, but with the iTunes MP3 encoding and file compression tests running in the background. Photoshop’s memory was set to 70 percent and History was set to Minimum. The Photoshop Suite test is a set of 23 scripted tasks using a 50MB file. We ran a Timedemo at 1024-by-768 with 4X anti-aliasing on in Call of Duty 4. Twist the black base counter-clockwise to unlock the base, and gently lift the base clear of the device. Flip over the Mac Mini so the open and closed dots are facing you.

In iMovie ’09, we imported a camera archive and exported it to iTunes using the Mobile Devices setting.

We duplicated a 1GB file, created a Zip archive in the Finder from the two 1GB files and then unzipped it. Speedmark 6.5 scores are relative to those of a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo Mac mini (Mid 2010) with 2GB of RAM, which is assigned a score of 100.
