Sourcing and disambiguation notes

The top memory tier of the Mac mini, and the cheapest Apple machine that holds a 27B-class model at 8-bit or a 35B mixture-of-experts with room for a long context. Bandwidth is 273 GB/s, the same as every other M4 Pro -- Apple quotes one figure for both the 16-core and 20-core GPU bins -- so against the 24GB and 48GB entries here this configuration buys capacity, not speed. No price: 64GB is a build-to-order upgrade rather than one of the standard tiles Apple's buy page renders, so no figure could be tied to it at the source.

Measurements

Decode is token generation — the speed you feel while an answer streams. Prefill is prompt processing — the wait before it starts. Why bandwidth predicts decode speed.

What verified, single-source and estimated mean, and the same rows with every filter and sort in the benchmarks explorer.

Speed over time

What it can run

Fit is arithmetic, not a measurement — how it is computed. Against 64 GB; models that fit are listed largest first.
