What Mac Mini has equivalent power to a Macbook Pro?

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I am interested to know which Mac mini has the power equivalence to a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.9GHz 13" Mid-2012' non retina's Specs?

Macbook Pro Specs here:
MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.9 13" Mid-2012 Specs (Mid-2012 13", MD102LL/A, MacBookPro9,2, A1278, 2554*) @ EveryMac.com


My 2012 Macbook Pro was sadly stolen from my university's dorm room at UCLA. I am now looking again to buy another Apple Mac product. I specifically would like to buy a Mac Mini, since I believe it will fit my needs.

Any comments are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Do you mean amongst the brand new Mac-Mini's currently available? If so…the closest would probably be the 2.6ghz i5 Mac-Mini. The CPU performance is similar…the graphics performance is better. And unlike the 2012 13" MacBook…this Mac-Mini has no optical drive.
