Graphics tests also showed the same kind of performance as the entry-level iMac, with both machines relying solely on Intel HD Graphics 5000 within the Core i5 processor. Version 15 scored the Mac mini with 97 and 236 points (98 and 240 points iMac). Version 11.5 of the CPU test ranked the Mac mini with 1.1 and 2.49 points (versus 1.13 and 2.58 for the iMac). In the Cinebench tests we also saw the same kind of performance figures as the iMac (Mid-2014, 21.5-inch).

ThatвЂ™s still the case, although thereвЂ™s only one SATA connector on the logic board now, since the Fusion or Flash Drive models now work with PCIe-attached solid-state drives. Since the optical drive was stripped from the Unibody chassis with the mid-2011 refresh, the Mac mini has had space for two 2.5in SATA drives inside.
