Have you think on mac minis? Compact, cheap and super powerfull

I use AWS c7g (64x arm graviton3 cpus)instances to run some simulations. They are the fastest instances for our work.

If I had to run simulations daily it will be cheaper to have 8x mac minis M1 at a buying cost of around 5200 Eur.

I reply to myself. The cost of the 8 M1 mac mini is less than that. You can probably find second hand for less than $500 each = $4000 for the complete cluster 64 cores total.
