Passmark 2012 MacMini CPU Specs

I can't explain the Passmark vs. Geekbench score discrepancies... But a 10% increase between the i7 options sounds about right to me.
I was going to get the i5 before I found out about the quad-core CPU in the mid-level Mini. But the $200 difference in price seems to be a No Brainer. Add 16GB RAM and it should be a Very Nice Mac (and a substantial upgrade from my current 2006 24" iMac!)

2.3 to 2.6 = 13% raw cpu cycles....
Also has ram going at a faster clip since ram is tied to proc speed...
The $100 premium for this upgrade is one of the best processor deals apple has ever done! 2.6 way worth it over 2.3 (if you care about such things
)
