Tom ’s Hardwaresays it ’s for the sad and neglected Mac Mini . Apple Insidersays it could make more sentiency inside a revamp Apple tv set . Either manner , a twofold - gist Atom with Nvidia ’s 9400 M sounds nice .
Tom ’s Hardware is pointing to an Nvidia source that confirmed Apple was the first to pick up Ion trial unit , and said that Apple most certainly had an Ion - powered Mac Mini in the pipe . Apple Insider is more inclined to think it ’s for the Apple TV , since a move to Atom would be a step up from its aging 1GHz Intel Crofton proc .
Both products make the most sense for a down - king , low - cost processor , but a dual - marrow Atom 330 running at 1.6 gigacycle per second would certainly be a gradation down from the Mini ’s current Core 2 Duo at 1.83 and 2 GHz , so I would localize my check in the Apple telly deal . The Nvidia 9400 M would bring a nice boost to the Mini ’s paltry HD video potentiality however , and OS ecstasy config file snooping hasturned up grounds for a 9400M - powered Minirecently ( does n’t mean it will also use an Atom processor ) .

Or maybe they ’ll but mix these two fairly confused merchandise lines into one dimunitive full OS X motorcar ( please ) that ’s perfect for the sustenance elbow room . Tom ’s source enounce the newfangled Ion - power product will reach around March . We ’ll see about that . [ Tom ’s Hardware , Apple Insider ]
