Does Cargo build in parallel? Ryzen 3600 (I have this one) has 6 cores/12 threads, where the M1 has 4 fast cores and 4 slower.
I wonder how slower are the slow cores.
On my 3600, using gzip on one thread is ~30% slower if the sibling is busy.
@Fabimaru It does parallelize builds
@cadey It's too bad the M1 is Apple product only present in Apple products that are mostly made using slave labor. it seems like an awesome SOC that would be a nice choice if you could install Gentoo or whatever Linux distribution you wanted. But no, you have to use gayOS. It's the same issue the latest XBox has, it'd be a great tiny PC if it wasn't restricted to a locked-down gamerOS.
@emilis @cadey there's plenty of articles like https://www.techradar.com/news/linus-torvalds-wants-apples-new-m1-powered-macs-to-run-linux
Linus said he wanted a Mac with a M1 and he can't because it's locked down by Apple.
@geotechland @emilis @katie an m1 raspi would change hobby electronics overnight lol
@icedquinn @cadey @geotechland @katie I mean, their kernel is open source to this day. So is a lot of their tooling.
@icedquinn @emilis @geotechland @cadey I too doubt Apple will license their ARM CPU design to anyone or let it be part of any non-Apple products. It's not their way.
Apple's way is quite the opposite, they are going to extreme lengths to ensure that it's impossible to buy parts for their products and they are also ensuring that third party parts can't be used (replacement screens working for a year until Apple pushes a software update that breaks all machines with a replaces screen, etc).
@icedquinn @emilis @cadey @katie E-waste? Apple is environmentally friendly now. They don't even ship a power brick with the new iphones 😁
