> I'm kind of intrigued by what a pro-focused Mac Mini could be. Take a look at the Mini's modern competition: Dell's Optiplex 7060 mini or HP's Prodesk 600 G4 mini, which can use Intel's i7-6700T (6 cores / 12 hyper threads) and hold 32GB of memory and, IIRC, are even slightly smaller than a Mac Mini. Not quite a modern workstation but still a lot of computing power in a small package. That's how far behind the times the Mac Mini is and Apple would be foolish not to catch up.
