Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score

Docker for Mac Desktop supports the M1 and uses an Linux VM that is ARM.

It is not using Rosetta 2 at all.

But if you run x86 images, it will use qemu’s software emulation inside the Linux VM (which is quite slow).

This has been the big slowdown for my org as a number of packages we rely on in docker on debian do not yet have an arm64 version, so have to emulate x86 and take the huge performance hit.

Yea, don't get the benefit of the hypervisor when constrained to x86 Vms.

May I introduce you to AWS/GCP/Azure where you can cheaply run legacy x86 systems and use them for development?
