Last week Think Secret came out with a story that claims that the Mac mini will be unveiled with a brand new Intel processor and featuring a more digital hub orientated set of features.

Expected to be released one year after its initial release the future Mac mini will feature the upcoming Front Row 2 with access to Apple’s new content distribution system.

World of Apple has researched this rumour as we find it of great interest, we have discovered much like Think Secret that the form factor is likely to change due to a shift to 3.5″ hard drives.

The Mac mini will be moving to the new Intel processors but there will be several tiers of pricing available with optional add on modules such as the ability to add DVR abilities.

The new Mac mini will feature the new Yonah processor, two different speeds will be available, 1.66Ghz and 1.50GHz single core low voltage and the possibility of a higher tier Yonah at 1.66Ghz but featuring dual cores.
