Apple isn't entering the cloud market. Moreover the M1 isn't a cloud cpu. The M1 SOC emphasizes low latency and performance per watt over throughput.



AWS has Mac mini, and is expected to add M1 mini into the mix [1]. I expect Apple to take lots of silicon design into data centers and edge computing. Over time I can see a lot of mobile apps running backend through Apple silicon with a full Apple cloud software stack to provide data management around security and privacy.

That’s the Mini. That’s not the M1.


The Mini has an M1 cpu


No, the Mac Mini available on AWS does NOT have an M1. It has an Intel Core i7.

It has been said AWS will add M1.
