Its again a integrated video card with 256MB of memory. Apple reports that this card is faster than the 9400M between 30% to 80% (this tests are based on games) better battery, which can run for 10 hours straight.

The next version of the Mac Mini may be with HDMI connector replacing the now existing miniDVI reports AppleInsider Photo credit: AppleInsider The port sits besides mini DisplayPort connector and marks the first instance of full-featured HDMI connectivity on a Mac. It also represents only the second Apple product to feature the port outside of the company's fledgeling Apple TV streaming media device. Cosmetically, the Mac mini is otherwise said to look identical to existing models, with no other visible changes to its enclosure. So it seems that Apple is paying close attention to what the users are saying about the Mac Mini, because using the Mini as Home Theater Center is one of common use of this machine and including an HDMI port will make the cinema experience more enjoyable. While the current video connectors are enough for Home Cinema setup, using the HDMI will make the sound cable from the computer to the TV unnecessary, because the HDMI cable can supply both video and audio signals. Alongside the new connector, the new Mac Mini-s will include new chipset: Nvidia's MCP89 At least one of the Mac mini prototypes described by those privy to the hardware is said to include Nvidia's MCP89 chipset, which is the successor to the existing MCP79 (or GeForce 9400M) chipset found alongside Intel's Core 2 Duo processors across the majority of Apple's existing Mac product line.
