Apple renewed its Mac mini family with M6 and M5 Pro chips and focused especially on artificial intelligence performance in its small desktop computer. M6 Mac mini is up to 4 times faster in artificial intelligence operations and up to 2 times faster in graphics performance than the M4 model. offers. Apple Türkiye started taking pre-orders for new models, M6 Mac mini is from 59,999 TL, M5 Pro Mac mini is from 114,999 TL It comes with starting prices. The company introduces new Mac mini models on September 22 will bring it together with users.
The M6 uses a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, so Apple adds two cores on each side compared to the previous M4-based Mac mini. The company aims to double the performance of the previous generation with the dual 16-core Neural Engine, while placing Neural Accelerator on every core in the GPU. Standard configuration 16 GB combined memory It offers and users can increase the memory up to 32 GB. Memory bandwidth is also up from 120 GB/s on the M4. 170GB/s rises to the level.
In its own tests, Apple beats the M4 Mac mini in large language model request processing performance with LM Studio. Up to 4.8x speed increase measuring. While the difference is up to 1.5 times in Microsoft Excel calculations, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition In the ray tracing test, the new model offers up to twice the performance of the M4 Mac mini. These figures reflect Apple’s own testing conditions, so independent reviews will more clearly show the difference in real use. However, the Neural Accelerators added to the M6’s GPU cores clearly show that Apple is positioning the new Mac mini not only for classic desktop work, but also for artificial intelligence models running on the device.
M6 and M5 Pro raise the performance bar
On the M5 Pro side, Apple is leaning towards heavier professional workloads. chip Up to 18 core CPU and 20 core GPU While offering, users can increase the combined memory up to 64 GB. Apple memory bandwidth 307 GB/s level, thus freeing up more space for large local AI models, complex 3D scenes, ProRes RAW files and large data sets. Neural Accelerators in GPU cores also accelerate artificial intelligence operations such as image enlargement, diffusion models and similar.
In Apple’s testing, the M5 Pro delivers up to 4x higher performance than the M4 Pro in large language model request processing with LM Studio. Ray-traced rendering performance increases up to 1.4 times in Blender, and image processing performance increases up to 1.5 times in Affinity. M5 Pro also uses GPU architecture with third-generation ray tracing technology. The company is targeting this model towards heavier scenarios such as video production, game development, scientific simulations and constantly running local artificial intelligence systems.
Apple does not make any major changes in the case design and maintains the compact Mac mini body that it introduced with the M4 family in 2024. In contrast, connection options are getting significantly stronger. both models Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and standard 2.5Gb Ethernet While offering, users can also choose the 10Gb Ethernet option. On the front, there are two USB-C connections with USB 3 support and a headphone jack. While the M6 model uses three Thunderbolt 4 connections on the back, the M5 Pro model offers three Thunderbolt 5 connections instead, with Apple also retaining the HDMI and Ethernet connections.

M6 Mac mini starts from 59,999 TL in Türkiye
Home configuration of M6 Mac mini in Apple Türkiye store 59.999 TL It is included with the starting price. Starting price for the more powerful M5 Pro Mac mini 114.999 TL rises to the level. Apple’s Turkey store offers the M6 model with an entry configuration with 16 GB memory and 256 GB storage, as well as different options such as 512 GB storage, 24 GB memory, 32 GB memory and 1 TB storage. On the M5 Pro side, the starting configuration uses a 15-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24 GB combined memory and 512 GB storage.
Apple for new Mac mini models Started taking pre-orders on August 25 and will introduce the devices to users starting from September 22. The Turkish store is also currently showing the pre-order option for new models. Thus, users in Türkiye can choose from Apple’s local pricing without having to calculate the US price based on the exchange rate. Between M6 and M5 Pro Starting price difference of 55,000 TLcreating an important distinction, especially for users who will be choosing between standard desktop work and heavier professional workloads.
The new Mac mini also takes advantage of macOS 27 and Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features. Using personal context, Siri AI can search for information across messages, emails, and photos, work with Spotlight, and respond to questions about on-screen content through Visual Intelligence. Apple is also expanding AI features in apps like Safari, Photos, and Shortcuts. In fact, the design remains largely the same in the new generation, the main change being the processing power of the M6 and M5 Pro, local artificial intelligence performance and renewed connection options.
