We’re not sure how much more Apple’s M1 chip will stop impressing us, but if you wanted to see the custom silicon equal to the 2019 iMac Pro in code compilation, here are some interesting results. What’s astonishing about these results is that the M1 chip is so efficient while compiling code, there’s little to no battery life hit.

It’s remarkable to see results like this, and witnessing that the M1 MacBook Air, M1 MacBook Pro, and M1 Mac mini are much cheaper than the models released by Apple a year or even six months prior and still they bring so much performance to the table. TechCrunch compiled the open source code for Safari's browser engine WebKit on various Macs, and if you take a look at the results below, the M1-powered Macs finish first.
