It's important to note that 8GB is wholly inadequate for almost everything in modern times unless you want to spend your time closing apps. Im not sure if the benchmarks use more than 8GB but if they don't they're faulty. I have 32GB in my imac and i regularly use > 20GB just browsing around. Once you start swapping all bets are off in terms of performance. 

I'd think 16GB could be. minimum and that's barely enough.. Because of the high price of 24GB Im wary to even buy the mini. A used 2020 iMac gives me a great display, the ability to upgrade ram and still 3x the performance f my 2015 iMac for < 1/2 the price of a mini and a studio display.
