I'm still cautiously skeptical about the new M1 chips. While for typical users running chrome, facetime, mail, etc it should be fine, I'm still wondering how it will fare under other workloads. I know apple mentioned that it will be able to export video much faster than intel chips, I'm still wondering what performance will look like for various tech stacks.

XCode initial and incremental build times are faster than a 16" MBP on all the M1 macs.

  Very interesting. Do you have a reference for that?

Based on the analysis of https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste... , M1 is absolutely competitive with the best laptop class CPUs in raw performance, while being dramatically lower in power consumption. This is definitely one of the best out-of-order processor pipelines ever created.
