    Has less to do with the CPU architecture and more with the thermal and fan configuration.

    I would assume macs have much higher quality fans due to them having a reputation to uphold.

      As someone who has compiled a ton of software on a lot of different laptops, Apple Silicon provides ridiculous performance per watt.

      My M1 Pro macbook not only compiles emacs faster than my desktop with a 5600X, but the fans don’t even turn on.
