Apple’s ARM-based Mac mini sporting an A12Z Bionic was first displayed as a ‘Developer Transition Kit’ at WWDC 2020, and more details came through that it carried a $500 price tag but was only meant for developers, not regular customers. It was later found that according to the terms and conditions, developers weren’t allowed to run benchmarks on the machine, but that hasn’t stopped the performance results from coming forward, and that’s exactly what we’ll talk about right here.

According to the latest results uploaded on Geekbench, the Mac mini obtained a single-core and multi-core scores of 833 and 2582, respectively, on average. A lot of you might be wondering that the scores aren’t as convincing as you’d hope from a machine equipped with something as powerful as the A12Z Bionic and you’d be correct for thinking so. That’s because Geekbench is running through Apple's translation layer Rosetta 2, resulting in an impact in performance.
