According to Electronista, the new Mac Mini will be based on allegedly Atom 330 processor from Intel and the latest platform NVIDIA Ion. It is not difficult to guess, in general, such a system can not compete with systems for Core 2 Duo, but the graphics subsystem, it is almost close to systems based on the GeForce 9400M, for example, MacBook Unibody. Incidentally, Apple has recently hinted that the foundation of the next-generation Mac Mini becomes a set of logic NVIDIA MCP79, which is the core platform for GeForce 9400M.
It will be recalled that the Atom 330 processor costs only 43 dollars in batches of 1000 units and above, especially since NVIDIA has already announced that the value system based on the Ion is around 400 dollars. True, Apple is known that never or almost never adheres to a standard design, the more so since Steve Dzhobs once said that he led the company does not know how to make systems that are cheaper than U.S. $ 500. For this reason, you can assume that the price of the new Mac Mini will be around 500-600 dollars. As expected, it will be presented at the CeBit 2009 in early March this year.
