New MacMini with Atom processor? : MacKorisnik.com - magazine for Mac users
The reconstruction MacMini lines have already been discussed superheroes as a rumor that will culminate in this year's Macworld. Unfortunately, the rumor did not come true, but judging the strength and quantity of evidence, MacMini, he should appear soon. Until now it was assumed that should rebuild the Nvidia 9400M chipset with integrated graphics and the new Core 2 Duo processors. superheroes But now there are rumors that the new MacMini be launched on the new platform Nvidia Ion, which is made for Intel Atom processors, which are now found in almost all netbooks. But unlike netbooks that use single-core Atom N270, MacMini, according to the rumor should use dual-core Atom 330 which is essentially just two N270 placed on the same plate. superheroes Atom 330 runs at 1.6GHz, has 2x512k L2 cache, 533MHz FSB and HyperThreading. Just Ion chipset is quite similar to the chipset superheroes used in aluminum Macbookovima, it is a single-chip solution with an integrated Nvidia 9400M graphics and a TDP of 18W.
The rumor came from a known hardware sites, Tom's Hardware, which is unnamed Nvidia partner confirmed that the next generation MacMinija be based on Iona, and that Apple had test subjects Ion platform before its official presentation at this year's CES. But the rumors are strange two things.
The first is that the transition from the C2D (even that of the first generation of what is in minis) on Atom, the transition from a horse to a donkey. The Atom in performance at great disadvantage in relation to any C2D processor. superheroes According to tests, the Atom 330 is on average about 2x slower than current processors in the MacMini, so you really do not see any reason why Apple would "upgrade" MacMini computer use Atom processors, except perhaps, if you do not intend to present with Snow Leopard. According to the rumor Atom MacMini should be presented superheroes in March, around CEBIT and if you remember the rumors according to which Snow Leopard should be launched by the end of the first quarter of 2009 (which superheroes I still sounds pretty nevjeroatno), MacMini could be the first computer that will exploit OpenCL and GrandCentral, because theoretically, such a MacMini with an Atom processor in conjunction with the 9400M graphics, the Snow Leopard, as could the entire computer to be faster than the old Mini, which has a much faster processor, but also a lot worse graphics (Intel GMA950).
Another thing that is strange to the rumor has it, which according to previous rumors (as found strings) new MacMini should use the MCP79 chipset, or the same one as in the aluminum Macbookovima. But mark Ion chipset platform is MCP7x, which does not coincide with previous findings. One possibility is that Apple has really evolved MacMini based on MCP79 chipset, but for some reason gave up, and decided to develop a MacMini based on the Ion and Atom. One big advantage of this platform are the physical superheroes dimensions and overall TDP of just 26W, so that the MacMini could fit in a much smaller enclosure.
I can already imagine the Apple marketing for such a machine: Twice as power four times in a smaller package. Of course, this whole story with a parallel launch of the Mini with Snow Leopard is just my guess and I have no information to confirm it.
According to AppleInsider, it is possible that instead of the Mini, Atom gets AppleTV upgrade, which would Ion platform was actually upgrade because 9400M has hardware HD decoding, the Atom 330 is faster and has a lower TDP than the current 1GHz low-power Pentium Crofton. There is also the possibility that Apple released a new product based on the Ion platform (MacNano?), Which would have the specifications as described earlier MacMini and MacMini to receive the upgrade configuration is similar to those in the new Macbookovima. What is a little contrary to these two assumptions is that Nvidia partner, from whom the rumor originated, confirmed that it was just about the MacMini, and not something else.
Basically, turning these rumors created confusion in the Mac rumor community and nobody knows exactly what Apple intends and hopefully you do not find out before the launch, as is usually the case in recent times.
wow interesting, but somehow I bet on Apple TV, mini became prebitan to gamble in such a manner and for Apple TV and the bass does not need any power. Otherwise I do not know right who monitors al THIS would like to see the logo http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/asus-eee-keyboard-revealed/
