Accessing an M1 Mac mini in the cloud just got cheaper. Amazon Web Services (AWS) started offering Intel Mac mini instances at the end of last year for $ 1,083 an hour, in a minimum of 24 hours. Scaleway, a European cloud services company, now offers the M1 version for € 0.10 ($ 0.12) per hour, with the same 24-hour minimum …
The company says the service is aimed at distributed development teams working on iOS and macOS projects.
This new release offers Scaleway customers the latest fully native Apple experience based on macOS Big Sur running on the super-fast Mac mini M1 for € 0.10 an hour. All systems come pre-installed with the latest version of macOS Big Sur 11.2 and Xcode 12.4 […]
With the introduction of its Mac mini running on the Apple silicon M1 on November 10, 2020, Apple stunned the world by providing enormous computing power while consuming 55% less energy than previous generations, and claimed the title of “better performance world CPU per watt ”.
Arnaud de Bermingham, founder and president of Scaleway said: “Apple’s M1 silicon is exactly the kind of innovation we seek to deliver better computing performance to our customers, while consuming less energy, in line with our DNA and environmental values.”
Yann Lechelle, CEO of Scaleway continued: “This is the perfect setup for dealing with increasingly complex macOS or continuous iOS integration and delivery to distributed development teams.” In fact, setting up a Scaleway account to take remote control of a newly installed Mac mini M1 takes less than 5 minutes.
Scaleway is deploying its Mac mini M1 farm in its state-of-the-art DC4 data center located in an old nuclear shelter 25 meters deep in Paris, France. Starting today, Scaleway customers can benefit from the Mac mini M1 from anywhere in the world and compute more while burning less.
AWS said in December that it expects to have M1 Mac minis available in the first half of this year.
A multi-generation comparison of power consumption and thermal output for the Mac mini highlighted the efficiency achieved by the M1 Mac mini compared to its Intel predecessors.
