They're cheaper than cloudy x86 Apples, but not entirely tempting
The prices mentioned above are for on-demand use. As the M1 Mac mini retails for $899 when equipped with 16GB of memory, users may wish to contemplate the discounts AWS offers for one- or three-year commitments to use the cloudy Macs . Without those discounts, six weeks use of a cloudy M1 instance will cover the cost of buying your own box.states the cloud colossus"will monitor customer demand for Reserved Instances," which could offer an even cheaper way to run cloudy Macs.
AWS has not explained why the M1 is cheaper than the Intel option, but electricity consumption looks to the most likely reason. Apple rates the M1 as using considerably less juice than the i7.as offering"up to 60% better price performance over the x86-based EC2 Mac instances for iPhone and Mac app build workloads."
For now, the Mac2 instance type is available in Amazon's US East , US West , Europe , and Asia Pacific regions. The formal debut of the Mac2 instance type means AWS has four Arm CPUs in production: the M1 plus three versions of its homegrown Graviton processor. ®
