Single core performance of this laptop is faster than my high end gaming PC with a Ryzen 5600X CPU according to Geekbench. With almost 5x faster in doing atomic functions, the effect in the whole user experience of an M1 hardware is a departure from the old incremental performance improvements pioneered by Intel. The tweet above taken from the article I linked. HereвЂ™s a good read about AppleвЂ™s choice in opting for Reference Counting instead of Garbage Collection dramatically increasing the whole user experience while for developers, the implementation is no different (yes apples to oranges, almost literally) programmatically.ДЇun fact: retaining and releasing an NSObject takes ~30 nanoseconds on current gen Intel, and ~6.5 nanoseconds on an M1- David Smith November 10, 2020

Xcode is obviously native M1 while Android Studio still donвЂ™t have an M1 build yet. To be fair, IвЂ™m not coding mobile apps so resource usages are not demanding.

The SoC temperature is sitting between high 30s and mid 40s degrees Celcius. Oh and Docker is running a MongoDB container.

I can still do a lot, I code without any sluggishness at all. All that took 47% of memory with ~30% CPU usage. ItвЂ™s NOT slow at all.ДЄ lot of apps is running including Pycharm along with the Photos app curating my photos. I bought the 256GB Air with 8GB of RAM, itвЂ™s enough. Go here to check if M1 builds for your apps are available. I guess this is AppleвЂ™s way of saying to developers to provide M1 builds. Whenever I try to block a text or copy paste, there is a significant delay interrupting my flow. Apps that are ran with Rosetta 2 will suffer from text manipulation sluggishness. To put things short, anything not built for M1 will work using Rosetta 2 but the experience would be degraded. Visual Studio Code - M1 builds in beta, running x86 build with Rosetta 2 is not a great experience.Pycharm (and other IntelliJ based IDE) - M1 builds are official.Docker - Only technical preview builds are available, itвЂ™s fine for my limited use case of spinning up just database daemons.Apps for M1Д®verything works as of now although some of them with an asterisk: But thatвЂ™s not all I have to say, IвЂ™m looking at this from a software engineerвЂ™s point of view. The i9 16' is just not in the same league as this M1 Air.

At the moment I have a Macbook Pro 16' i9 top of the line, a Ryzen 5600X gaming PC and this new laptop. so if your workload is constantly heavy (gaming or compiling a big amount of things) rather bursts of heavy, consider getting the pro.Д®dit: crossed out a paragraph cause im likely wrong apparently.In short, ItвЂ™s GREAT! What can I say more other than itвЂ™s just a fantastic machine to play with. the air would have no fans, and compiling things actually uses fans.

that's the biggest problem I realized today.ДЄnd finally, macbook pro or air. announce to only last 2 years at launch, I don't think you can do much about software without source code and that you can actually compile. Intellij and android studio apparently is intel and not m1 kind of app.Д«ut I think the bigger caveat with rosetta 2 is it's limited time. so I had to get java version 16 with the intel version of home brew. Home brew works, but getting java version 16 is basically impossible now because they changed it to version 17, which im sure is a preview. except most images are for amd64 (aka x86_64?) and may or may not cause problems. it runs faster, cooler, less energy, and no fans, for things like general productivity (web, youtube, email, documents, stuff like that).ДЇor docker, it works.
