MacBook Pro processor for mac mini

Hi There,


I use a MacBook Air and am thinking to getting a mac mini but the highest processor configuration on Apple's website for the mac mini is 3.2GHz 6-core 8th-generation, Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz) only. I would like to know if I can have the top-processor from the MacBook Pro i.e.


2.3GHz 8-core Intel Core i9,

Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz,

with 16MB shared L3 cache


configured into the latest mac mini.


Kind Regards,

Ab.

Mac mini 2018 or later

That 6-core Core i7 CPU option in the current Mac mini is 12 threads of execution due to hyperthreading. If the CPU is not on the build to order offering for the Mac configuration, then it is not available.
