I have a mid-2011, 2.5GHz i5. Other than USB3 ports, what do I gain with an the current model?

[Forrest]

The graphics performance of the 2014 2.5 GHz i5 (current mini) is 3x to 4x faster than the HD 3000 Graphics in the 2011 i5 mini.

I'm assuming Data transfer speed of SSD and Video is also faster along with USB 3.0 (bus speed)

Small correction for Forrest's post.
There was in 2011 two i5's. A 2.3 with HD 3000 graphics and a 2.5 with AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics (not shared). I have both and have not compared them. I have added a CalDigit Thunderbolt dock to both to update to USB3 ports.
