During Apple’s WWDC 2020 keynote, the company announced its Mac transition from Intel to custom A-series chips based on ARM’s instruction set, while also stating that the first product for consumers will arrive in late 2020. However, what regular customers don’t know is that there is already a Mac mini available running Apple’s custom silicon. Unfortunately, you can’t buy it and here’s why.

That is right; the first Apple product to tout a custom ARM chip is the Mac mini and it features the A12Z Bionic, the same chipset running in the 2020 iPad Pro family. According to previous insights, the A12Z Bionic is simply a rebranded A12X Bionic running in the 2018 iPad Pro, but with an extra GPU enabled. However, it doesn’t make the silicon any less impressive because Apple showcased the A12Z Bionic effortlessly handling Final Cut Pro running and editing 3 streams of 4K Pro Res video, on a 6K Pro Display XDR.
