In my mind, this is the money chart. This is a full compile of a fresh checkout of WebKit on the M1. Followed by a chart that shows battery usage. This is not an error, I tried it a bunch to make sure. Yes, it had ninety one percent battery left.
Oh, you wanted the same chart but unzipping the Xcode beta? sure. Note that the M1 shows no signs of throttling on the MacBook Pro.
The M1 is super responsive, as you can see from this @mjburnsy gif. It's hard to get it to trip up launching anything and the fan almost never goes on. When it does go on it's at "water cooled" speeds for the most part. This thing is _cool_ and _quiet_.
Oh by the way, I'm going to say it explicitly here: If you are someone who is "worried" about the 16GB of RAM, you had better be working with single files over 16GB (and not streamable ones like video). Even when swap did appear it was not noticeable at all.
My bet is that Apple gets rid of 'RAM' entirely soon because there's little comparison between traditional RAM over a bus and a UMA memory pool. It's just too fast.
I noticed a lot of reviews getting confused by the CPU clock and what the specs were there, here's a live dump of what the Performance and Efficiency clusters are up to during a Cinebench R23 multithread bench.
Oh, and Intel is toast.
