Apple's M6 chip delivers 2nm process and modest performance boost over M5
Apple introduced the M6 processor, debuting in the Mac Mini, built on a 2nm process with 12 CPU cores and a 12-core GPU. The company claims a 20% improvement in multithreaded performance and faster AI tasks compared to the M5, though the gains are considered respectable rather than revolutionary. The base model includes 16GB of RAM, with options up to 32GB, and prices reflect higher memory costs.
