100W is quite a bit higher TDP than any previous Mac Mini. The highest-power Minis I'm aware of are: - The Quad-Core Mac Minis from 2011 & 2012 with 45W TDP. (e.g. i7-3720QM) - The 2011 Mac Mini with dGPU with 35+26=61W TDP. (i7-2620M + Radeon HD 6630M) Mind you, we can always dream that Apple will care about those of us who have wanted a Mac without a built-in display that fits between the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro.
