Maybe if you check out the new Mac Mini page on the Apple site, you'll be able to look at the general specs for the current models and essentially compare them to what you know to have in your 2012 model. There are various options for customization, of course, but you might get an overall sense of what's different. Keep in mind, as mentioned in another thread, clock speeds are lower in number but processor performance has increased in the current models, especially for the I7 upgrades.
