I very briefly had an M1 Pro laptop (unfortunately it came with a faulty keyboard, so now I'm waiting another month for the replacement to ship), and I was blown away by how fast it is. My daily driver is currently the 2015 MacBook Pro, and I hadn't realised what I was missing. Looking at benchmarks, it turns out that the M1 Pro is actually a full 8-9x faster than the 2015 model at multicore workloads (which most dev workflows will be): twice as fast single core, 4x more cores + 2 efficiency cores!
