About this machine

The baseline M4 Mac mini records an independently reported base CPU frequency alongside its installed unified memory, published bandwidth and maximum continuous power. The GPU clock and FP32 peak remain provisional third-party claims rather than Apple specifications.

Configuration

Component Role Count Clock Capacity
Apple M4 CPU Main CPU 1 4.41 GHz Nominal clock —
Apple M4 GPU GPU 1 1578 MHz Nominal clock —

Apple Mac mini (M4, 2024): system figures

provisional A figure marked provisional is recorded but not accepted: its evidence is unsettled. It may rely on one source, an unconfirmed announcement, or a digit read from a damaged scan. The reason appears under the figure. The catalog shows the figure but never uses it in a multiplier. How records are judged.

Metric Value Evidence Basis Method Source
Clock frequency cpu provisional 4.41 GHz Confirmed Measured Nominal clock Published independently The cited Geekbench result identifies this M4 Mac mini and reports its base frequency.
Clock frequency gpu provisional 1578 MHz Rumored Measured Nominal clock Published independently A third-party frequency table identifies this as the M4 GPU maximum.
Peak FP32 rate gpu provisional 4.3 TFLOP/s Rumored Theoretical Theoretical peak From community documentation A third-party specification sheet reports this theoretical peak.
Geekbench score, multi-core whole-system 15 226 Confirmed Measured Benchmark chart average Published independently geekbench 6 , multi-core The multi-core average is a different Geekbench variant from the single-core average and is never used as a scaling factor.
Geekbench score, single-core whole-system 3273 Confirmed Measured Benchmark chart average Published independently geekbench 6 , single-core A dated capture of the benchmark publisher’s rolling device average; it is not a score this machine itself got.
Memory capacity whole-system 16 GiB Confirmed Vendor-rated Design capacity Stated by the vendor The baseline M4 configuration is supplied with 16 GB of unified memory.
Memory bandwidth whole-system 120 GB/s Confirmed Vendor-rated Theoretical peak Stated by the vendor Apple states 120 GB/s as the M4 memory bandwidth; the record does not relabel it as an achieved rate.
Rated power consumption whole-system 155 W Confirmed Vendor-rated Rated power Stated by the vendor Maximum continuous power is a vendor rating, not a measurement of a workload.

Geekbench Compute score, metal gpu 54 482 Confirmed Measured Benchmark chart average Published independently geekbench-compute 6 , metal A dated capture of the benchmark publisher’s rolling average for this graphics processor, read from the 18 July 2026 Metal chart. It may be compared only with another Geekbench 6 Metal figure from this curation round, never with an OpenCL figure, a later version or a processor score. The chart also lists this processor under “Apple M4 GPU”, at 54 196; the row naming the product as its maker does was taken, and the disagreement is recorded in the conflict ledger.
Geekbench Compute score, opencl gpu 32 716 Confirmed Measured Benchmark chart average Published independently geekbench-compute 7 , opencl A dated capture of the benchmark publisher’s rolling average for this graphics processor, read from the 25 July 2026 OpenCL chart. Version 7 calibrates a compute result against a baseline of 100,000, so it may be compared only with another Geekbench 7 OpenCL figure from this curation round, never with a Metal figure, an earlier version or a processor score. The chart also lists this processor under “QUALCOMM Apple M4 GPU730”, at 8 518; the row naming the product as its maker does was taken, and the disagreement is recorded in the conflict ledger.
