Lower power is ARM, but aren’t X86 CPUs not still a lot faster?
(While my Raspberry Pi 4 can barely run a Minecraft server, my 50$ SFF can run 2 servers at the same time and still has plenty of CPU cycles left)
Power consumption is higher ofcourse, but I exchanged 3 Pi’s (3*10W) with one SFF (25W) so it’s fine :-)
That’s a design consideration, not an actual problem. Remember the pi is also not running natively, and that the quite good M chips from Apple are ARM-based.
I don’t fully understand. What’s the design consideration? My biggest problem is actually that the least power hungry CPU (arm) has very little options if you want to run a server with a bit more processing power.
If you mean that Minecraft is not native… this is Java , so everything runs in the JVM independent of platform.
I might need a Mac Mini as a server and install Linux on it (is that still an option?) like some kind of NUC…
