New iMac, Mac mini looking more probable after minute discovery

December 20th, 2008 | Category: Gadget Corner

Rumors of a new Mac mini or iMac have been floated (and denied) for a while now, but one ferocious investigator’s feasted his eyes on a few pieces of rather telling evidence recently. A poster on the InsanelyMac forums found some cipher in his new MacBook which referred to “iMac9,1 and Macmini3,1″ which would seem to indicate that a newer version — current iMacs and Mac minis are marked iMac8,1 and Macmini2,1 — whether both products are on the horizon. The new identifiers additionally list both as having “CFG_MCP7″ chipsets — the same NIVIDIA set used

in the new Macbooks (current minis have Intel GMA 950 chipsets while iMacs have NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS GPUs). So… we’ll see you at Macworld, soon after?
