Benchmarks for Apple's new 2018 Mac mini have begun to appear on the Geekbench browser. Geekbench 4 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 4000 (which is the score of an Intel Core i7-6600U). Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.

Scores which surfaced today and yesterday give the 6-core i7 model an average single-core performance score of 5912, higher than the average score given to the 2017 iMac, 2018 MacBook Pro, and the 2017 iMac Pro.



The Mac mini also did well in multi-core performance with this week's scores averaging 26426, just under the 12-core Mac Pro. It was outperformed by all models of the iMac Pro.

The scores from this week are bunched around 5900 and 26000 for single-core and multi-core performance. There are a couple from last week that are significantly lower. After the Mac mini arrives on November 7th we can expect to see many more entries for a more accurate average score.
