Want an Atom 330-based Mac Mini? No, you don't
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — The rumor du jour coming out of Tom's Hardware is that Apple is going to replace the current Mac Mini's Core2Duo with a dual core Atom 330-type processor.  This is kinda like going to the garage and having having your BMW 328 engine replaced with that of a Toyota Corolla.   The 1.6GHz Atom 330 Processor which is in the ION platform is slower than even the current Mac Mini. So, unless Apple is going to be turning the Mini line into a low priced Net-top set of devices, it wouldn't make sense to put a slower, cheaper processor under the hood.  Even with dedicated NVIDIA 9400N graphics and all ...

It was designed to be hedged in at the bottom end to be attractive as a switcher's machine and low cost mac desktop. Speed wasn't a prime design consideration. At first glance, the Atom/Ion Mini rumor doesn't make much sense. Why would Apple put a hole in their line-up by making such a large gap between a Mini and a Mac Pro? The landscape now is very different to six ...
