[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1271335, member: 38864"] Here are the core differences: [LIST=1] [*]The Mac mini has a higher clock speed, but fewer cores and 2/3 the L3 cache vs the server. [*]The Mac mini has a faster GPU with faster memory but 2/3 the memory. [/LIST] Unless you are using apps and games that take full advantage of the extra cores, I'm inclined to side with the regular Mac mini. You have a better GPU with faster memory on it and the higher clock speed on the CPU may be more of an advantage over having more cores. [/QUOTE]
