The fifth-generation model, which uses the Apple M1 system on a chip, was announced on November 10, 2020, alongside the updated models of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro as part of Apple's transition from Intel to Apple silicon. It was released on November 17, 2020, and was one of the first three Apple silicon-based Macs. The fifth-generation Mac Mini features a 3x faster eight-core CPU, a 6x faster GPU, and 15x faster machine learning performance than its predecessor, the base 2018 model.
