Apple's M6 Chip Delivers 2 nm Process and Faster On-Device AI in a $899 Mac Mini

Apple's M6, announced August 25, 2026, uses a 2 nm process, a 12-core CPU, a dual 16-core Neural Engine, and roughly 30% faster peak GPU compute versus the M5 — gains aimed at on-device LLM prompt processing. It ships in the Mac Mini at $899, pre-orders open, with units shipping after September 22, 2026.
