The problem you will probably run in to is the heat dissipation inside such a small case, causing the CPU to thermal throttle. The speed will be so much better on the 8700B as it has a higher clock and is a post Haswell/4th gen chip, for whatever reason the 4th gen and up are much, MUCH faster in emulation than 3rd gen and before even at the same clock speeds. The 3.2 GHz Core i7 in the 2018 version is a hexa core: 8700B The 2.6 GHz Core i7 in the 2012 version is a quad core: 3720QM

but the thing that will help the most is changing out OSX for Windows 10 using Bootcamp, even on the 2012 one. But that being said, yeah, you will probably see a huge boost in Dolphin because of the Intel UHD 630 which is much faster than the 4000 (My laptop with an i7 4800MQ and Intel Graphics 4600 struggles, but when I use the discrete card (GTX870 6GB) it runs great.) So upgrading to a newer CPU will also definitely help. Well to start out: OpenGL is deprecated and Vulkan is not really supported on OSX this is what probably causes the biggest issues that you are seeing. I'm hoping to get some advice from fellow Mac users

So I'm not looking for advice on ditching the Mac for a PC, even though I understand that building a gaming PC is far superior. Not a fan of PC's and much prefer the Mac Mini which I've been happy with for several years now.

Thank you! I figure if the Mini I have now can play some games decently, then the new model is likely a huge improvement. Rogue Squadron II is too much and isn't really playable. So far all I've really tried playing are a handful of titles: Windwaker, Crazy Taxi and Mario Golf play decently. I assume it has to do with the settings or something.

If I try playing directly on Dolphin (version 5.0-10965) it stutters and isn't really playable. I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini and it can juuuuuust manage to get by playing GameCube games, although oddly enough it plays them WAY better through RetroArch. Or more specifically, how Dolphin performs through RetroArch. I'm curious if there are any Mac Mini users who have the 4th gen Mini that was released in late 2018 and could tell me how Dolphin performs on that. Hi!
