The Retina MacBook Pro’s Portal 2 tests displayed twice as many frames per second.

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. The BTO Mac mini failed to beat the 2011 high-end Mac mini in Portal 2 and Cinebench Open GL tests.

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.
The 2011 Mac mini server i7 is the best one to get if you choose 2011. You can't get round the flip chip problem on 2011 Mac mini so make sure it only has integrated.

(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. 2012 is probably the best year for Mac in terms of replaceable parts but you can find real bargains for 2011 models due to compatibility issues. 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. I made a bootable USB of Mountain Lion before installation, before using Migration Assistant to move everything. SSDs are fast as all get out, but they have very limited capacity and they cost a lot more than traditional drives. Just plunked a Sandisk Extreme 240GB into my 2011 mini. 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.
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. 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. 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). 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.

In iMovie ’09, we imported a camera archive and exported it to iTunes using the Mobile Devices setting. We converted 135 minutes of AAC audio files to MP3 using iTunes’ High Quality setting. OWC 1.0TB Electra 6G SSD DIY Upgrade Bundle for 2011, 2012 Mac Mini, Includes Data Doubler, 5-Piece Installation Toolkit. 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. All other test results in the above chart are in seconds lower results are better. A more important point is that Apple abandoned this Mac Mini. But on Linux, the performance is really good.

MathematicaMark 7 results are scores higher results are better. After Elementary OS w/8GB RAM and SSD Post-upgrade full report available on GeekBench Conclusion The performance of this Mac Mini would have improved with only the hardware upgrades (without switching to Linux).
