Are your real-world applications running on the same operating system?
According to a thread on RWT (https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=197081&curpostid=197081 https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=197081&curpost...), macOS is much slower than Linux on the same hardware for some tasks like building software. If your Ryzen desktop is running Linux and your Macbook Pro is running macOS, that would be enough to explain at least part of the speed difference.

A skewed better performance in OSX is not just about the processor but about their stack preferring one arch. Benchmark for OS+CPU stack should be their best combination not where one vendor has advantage.
- nextos 6y agoYes, for that reason it'd be amazing if one could run Linux on M1 hardware. Despite some old Intel models were great for this purpose and Linus has shown some interest, I'm not holding my breath. It'd be nice if we saw some good competing CPUs. Nvidia is in my opinion is well positioned midterm due to the acquisition of ARM. But I'd prefer AMD due to openness and staying within the PC standard.
- psadauskas 6y agoIn my experience of the last several years, the MacOS filesystem layer for lots of tiny files seems to be much slower than Linux. In our app, `rm -rf node_modules` (75,000 files, 1.1GB) takes about 10x longer on MacOS than it does on Linux (btrfs, zfs, ext4 all similar). `yarn install` has a similar difference between the two. I'd imagine most compiling tasks involving lots of tiny files would be impacted by the filesystem performance as well, hamstringing the performance of the M1.
