which resolution does the new macmini support?
Which resolution does the 2012 mac mini support? Would it be able to power the old 30"Cinema HD display, which has 2560 x 1600 pixels as an optimum resolution?

Apple seem to have had a brain seizure regarding making this information available. If you look at the KB article for the mid 2011 Mac mini model as here

it does show the required information. If you look at the equivalent article for the late 2012 Mac mini model as shown here

it does not show the resultions. I would say that the answer is the same, that is the new model supports the same resolutions. What has changed is how many displays it can simultaneously drive (now only 2).
So the answer to your question would be
- Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
- HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
Note: If you are using a DVI display with a higher than 1920x1200 resolution, you need to use a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor, furthermore as before the higher resolution monitors like the 30" Cinema Display need a dual-link DVI adaptor.
