Ruby/Rails Performance Comparison of Intel, M1 Max, M2 Max

As a Rails dev on a 16" i9 machine identical to yours, this is helpful because I've been thinking about getting an M2 Max but have wondered if it's worth it versus getting a nice refurb M1 on the cheap.

But good lord, it takes 48 seconds to run 20 tests? I'm curious what kind of tests are these? The test suite for the Rails product I work on is ~5000 specs and takes about 90 seconds on my i9 and I thought that was painfully slow.

I didn’t benchmark anything so take this anecdote with a grain of salt.

When upgrading from a MacBook Pro i7 with 32g of ram to a MacBook Air M2 with 24gb I saw my rspec suite get 4 times faster.

Wow, that is impressive. I need to get off the Intel chip.
