If you're considering the Mini, then no, not at all. Core for core, they're quite similar, with only a mild speed bump. The 2012 had a 4-core option, but does not support 4K. The 2014 models (current generation) are dual core only, but have a graphics system that's able to handle 4K @ 60Hz. (Not sure how well it does it, but it can actually output it.)
