Bloomberg reports that Apple is currently developing a new Mac Pro based on Apple silicon that is half the size of the current design, because of the increased power efficiency the new chips offer.Īpple’s traditional January event may be one for the pros to keep an eye on. Apple Mac mini 799' 00000 THINK MINI This latest Mac mini comes with an lntel. The professional community might not have to wait too long, however. Powerhouse machines such as the MacBook Pro 16in, iMac Pro and Mac Pro are left on Intel processors, which don’t have the 16GB memory limit.Īlthough Apple made lofty claims about the new devices’ ability to render 8K video and perform other intensive tasks, professionals looking for workstation-grade performance are unlikely to be swayed with such little memory on offer. This explains why Apple was reasonably cautious with its launch last night, largely restricting the new Apple silicon to devices such as the MacBook Air and Mac mini, which traditionally aren’t used for highly demanding tasks. It's always best to use matching pairs when installing RAM for best performance. If you don't need this much, simply grab a 16GB kit made up of a pair of 8GB RAM sticks.
Currently, the M1 cannot support more than 16GB of memory. For just over 200, however, you can get a Crucial 32GB SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM kit that will make a terrific upgrade to any 2018 Mac Mini. If Mac mini (M1, 2020) is in firmware recovery mode, the status indicator light rapidly flashes amber three. There’s another reason Apple isn’t taking its traditional approach of charging customers a hefty premium to include more RAM in their MacBooks: it can’t.
