The three new Mac mini models will include updated processors with the base model getting a 2.5 GHz dual-core and the higher spec model getting a 2.3GHz quad-core processor. The server edition of the new Mac mini line will get the same 2.3 quad-core as the higher spec mini. These upgrades replace the 2.3GHz dual-core and GHz 2.5 dual-core options Apple sells with the current Mac mini line-up.
Storage options will start at 500GB for the 2.5GHz dual-core model, the same as the current Mac minis, while the new higher spec 2.3 GHz quad-core Mac mini will start at 1TB. The server model will get 2X1TB. As for RAM, all models appear to have 2X2GB stock, but there will be upgrades up to 16GB available from Apple. (Image: iFixit)
