The Apple M1 compiles Linux 30% faster than my Intel i9

I bought a 2019 Core-i9, top of the line, and plugging a non 16:9 resolution screen into it out of clamshell mode causes the GPU to consume 18W, and basically cause the system to unsustainably heat-up until it starts throttling itself.

It's clear they have hit a limit of what they could really do with Intel's top of the line processors from a thermal perspective, with the form factor they want to deliver.

Now I have sort of an expensive paper-weight sitting next to my M1.

> GPU to consume 18W

That was a bug on Apple’s part, not a feature. Case in point my Kaby Lake Windows laptop package power draw is less than 2W when plugged into 1440p.
