This is mine. This is the default M4pro Mini with 24GBRAM and 512SSD. Testing it for a customer but I'm kind of loving it so much I may keep it and get him another one. Very snappy.

Could you run a CPU and Metal benchmark with low power mode enabled?

Someone here posted about the max power draw being capped at 25W in low power mode, so I'm curious what Geekbench numbers are like.

Does the Mac Mini not automatically choose high performance mode when rendering, exporting video or running a benchmark?

It does have an automatic setting. For these benchmarks, however, I specifically set it to high power and low power modes. For my customer--who I was setting it up for--I set it back to Automatic.
