Evaluating M3 Pro CPU Cores: General Performance

I would say, its time for you to upgrade to Apple Silicon. Even the entry level 16GB Macbook Air M1 would beat vaporize the Intel in terms of performance.

It becomes an entirely different machine. It would not only run/compile your projects much faster, but also literally will have twice to thrice the battery life, and never ever makes noise or get hot. I would only recommend at least a 512GB storage though.

I used to passionately HATE using Macs pre-Apple Silicon era and work 24x7 with Linux at that time, but today I doubt if I will ever use anything other than a Macbook for all my needs. The only reason is Apple Silicon

Ya the M* Macbooks are a order of magnitude faster than the old intel boxes.

I really have to say after moving to a M3 Macbook from Intel jesus its smooth, and the battery feels like it never goes down.

What RAM did you get? I find it odd they are shipping them with 18GB these days lol
