Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU, 8‑core GPU and 16‑core Neural Engine.The refurbished model I bought was priced at S$1,599 (US$1,199) and comes with these specs: I did not buy the new Mac Mini at launch for two reasons: I wanted to wait for more apps to be re-written to run natively on the M1 processor, and I wanted to save money by buying a refurbished model (15% off retail price).
