Apple M2 vs. AMD Rembrandt vs. Intel Alder Lake Linux Benchmarks
An M2-powered Mac Mini could make for a very nice developer box if such an upgraded product product were to launch.
With the Node Web Tooling benchmark the M1 was slower than the tested Intel and AMD laptops while the M2 MacBook Air was now able to outperform all of the tested x86_64 competition.
The Liquid-DSP digital signal processing library could stand to see some optimizations for AArch64 / Apple Silicon.
While not too relevant for laptop use, Apache Spark is another Java workload performing very well on the M2 and could be of some interest for M2 in non-mobile form factors.
