M1 Mac Mini questions

[macman4789]

Hi everyone,

Tried to get answers to this but all I could find is info on the new M1 Pro/Max.

• What is the memory bandwidth of the standard M1 Mini? We know the Pro is 200GB/s and Max is 400GB/s but can’t find how the standard M1 compares?
• In day to day use of the M1 mini, has anyone found any performance difference when compared to the Pro/Max variants? I ask because the single core performance results aren’t too dissimilar I think?
• Graphics wise, does the M1 mini cope well with Photography based tasks? Lightroom? Affinity Photo? Just thinking of the overall longevity of the device.

Thanks in advance
