Mac Mini and Mac Pro are Apple's Last Two Remaining Intel Macs With Launch of Mac Studio

With the launch of the new Mac Studio (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-studio/) that replaces the higher-end 27-inch Intel iMac (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/), Apple has just two Intel Macs left in its lineup - the Mac Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-pro/) and the Mac mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-mini/).

Though the ‌Mac Studio‌ appears to be something of a ‌Mac mini‌ and ‌Mac Pro‌ hybrid, Apple has not discontinued the high-end Intel ‌Mac mini‌ and it remains in the lineup. This suggests a new version of the high-end ‌Mac mini‌ is likely to be coming at some point, despite multiple rumors that Apple would refresh it this event. Apple already sells an M1 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1/) ‌Mac mini‌, but the Intel version remains as the more expensive option.





Rather than a new ‌Mac mini‌, Apple instead introduced the ‌Mac Studio‌, which is priced starting at $1,999. The ‌Mac Studio‌ can be ordered with either the M1 Max (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1-max/) chip or the new higher-end 20-core ‌M1‌ Ultra chip.





Apple is still selling the 6-core Intel ‌Mac mini‌ with UHD Graphics 630 for $1,099, and the ‌Mac Pro‌ is available with its Xeon W chips that go up to 28-cores. At today's event, Apple said that the ‌M1‌ Ultra Mac Studios are faster than the 28-core ‌Mac Pro‌ models in terms of CPU and GPU performance.





Apple also said that it does plan to introduce a refreshed version of the ‌Mac Pro‌, but that the machine was an announcement "for another day."





It's likely we'll see a new version of the &zwnj;Mac mini&zwnj; when Apple introduces the M2 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m2/) chip later this year, and that could be when the Intel models will be phased out. We're also expecting the refreshed &zwnj;Mac Pro&zwnj; at some point in 2022.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: Mac mini (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-mini/), Mac Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Mac Mini (Caution) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Mini), Mac Pro (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Pro)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forums: Mac mini (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/mac-mini.146), Mac Pro (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/mac-pro.1)</div>
