It's much better than "integrated graphics" of past Minis, but not as good as the Radeon.Īnd if you can afford it, get the 7200 RPM drive to partially compensate for the thoughput issue I mentioned previously. That is not a separate dedicated video card like the Radeon, and uses "shared memory" rather than dedicated memory for the video. That said, do NOT get the one with the Intel graphics.

Mac Mini Server: 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 Mac mini Server 2.0GHz Intel Core i7 4GB Dual 500GB Mid 2011 - Pre Owned Apple Model : MC936LL/A, A1347, Mac mini Server (Mid 2011) Product Specification 2. Mac Mini: 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 with AMD Radeon HD 6630M (Apple has a max of 8GB, of vendors like OWC have tested the current Minis to 16GB of RAM.) Again, it depends on what you're doing. Now I am ready to replace my home built 2009 Windows desk top. You may want to consider getting 16GB at a later date. Hello All, In 2013 I abandoned my Windows laptops for a early 2013 rMBP w/ 2.4Ghz i7 Quad Core, 8Gb ram and 256SSD. Late 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 16 GB RAM 2 storage devices installed: OWC 240GB Solid State Drive SSD 1TB Hard Drive Disk HDD Total storage - 1.24TB The OS is installed on the SSD and it's super fast paired with the 16GB RAM. But more complex effects often needs more RAM. Realistically, a 0.1 0.2 GHz difference in CPU or GPU speeds is not so important. My past experience lends me to believe that it's a little of both, with more CPU than GPU. Do you believe the CPU or GPU is more important speed wise when it comes to adding many effects to video clips?

This also means that a Macbook Pro (or Air) will likely have slightly less performance than a iMac and Pro as well. Apple - MacBook Pro - 16' Display with Touch Bar - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon Pro 5300M - 512GB SSD - Space Gray. The Apple Mac mini 'Core i7' 2.0 Server (Mid-2011) features a 32-nm 'Sandy Bridge' Quad Core 2.0 GHz Intel 'Core i7' (2635QM) processor with four independent processor 'cores' on a single chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 4 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-10600) memory, dual 500 GB hard drives, and Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384 MB of memory shared with the system. The Mini uses "laptop components" so tends to have lower overall thoughput compared to an iMac or Mac Pro. I would normally not recommend the Mac Mini for "heavy" video editing either.
