Answering Your Questions - Mac Studio or Mac minis for Blender render farms?
First, many thanks to Kevin Ulaner for asking a very interesting question, what is better an entry level mac studio, or multiple mac minis?
James puts his sanity and skills on the line to stream the answer, here's Kevin's question in full.
KEVIN'S QUESTION
Love seeing your videos James. I remember seeing people set up render farms with a bunch of older Mac Mini's stacked one on top of the other. Could you run a Crowdrender test with two or more Mac Mini M1s? The price has been steadily dropping on these and it would be interesting to see how two or more base model units work together vs an entry-level Mac Studio. While the Mac Studio may win, I wonder if there would be any benefit at all to this approach using multiple newer Mac Mini's.
