"AWS has recently launched two new Mac instances (M4 and M4 Pro) built on Apple's latest M4 silicon. The new EC2 instances provide faster CPU performance, enhanced graphics, and increased memory for building iOS and macOS applications. Mac instances are typically used to build, test, package, and sign applications developed with Xcode for the Apple platform, including macOS and iOS."
"The M4 Mac instances (mac-m4.metal) are built on Apple M4 Mac mini computers, providing Apple silicon M4 chips with a 10-core CPU (four performance and six efficiency cores), 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 24 GB of unified memory. Apple silicon M4 Pro chips power the EC2 M4 Pro Mac instances (mac-m4pro.metal) with a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 48 GB of unified memory. Both instance classes provide 2 TB of local storage."
AWS introduced M4 and M4 Pro EC2 Mac instances based on Apple M4 silicon to accelerate iOS and macOS development workflows. The M4 instance uses an M4 chip with a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 24 GB unified memory. The M4 Pro instance uses an M4 Pro chip with a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 48 GB unified memory. Both instance types include 2 TB local storage. The new instances deliver up to 20% better build performance versus M2, support more parallel Xcode simulators and tests, but come with higher costs that may affect CI/CD budget choices.
