Last fall, AppleInsider reported that Apple’s Mac mini was about to reach the end of its life-cycle and possibly be discontinued. Well, according to their latest update on the matter, it sounds like Apple has a small team of engineers that may redesign the inside of the mini.
Among the improvements AppleInsider reported, are 45-nanometer Core 2 Duo mobile chips starting at 2.1GHz with 3MB of shared L2 cache, an 800MHz front-side bus (up from 667MHz), and a step up to the same Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics processor employed by the existing line of 13-inch consumer MacBooks. They also reported, while those people familiar with plans for the Mac mini were unclear on a precise release date for the forthcoming makeover, the Penryn-3M-based systems reportedly remained within the engineering build stage as of mid-month.
