Buying MacOS for learning Swift

Agree, but currently my hackintosh is faster in Xcode Benchmarks than the M1 Studio Max/M2 Pro. I have 0 reasons to buy a brand new slower machine.
M2 Mac Mini for iOS dev?

The Pro version is notably faster than regular version for development. You can see Xcode benchmarks here: https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark

Is M1 Ultra too much for Programming?
2 projects | /r/MacStudio | 25 Oct 2022

You can reference this Xcode benchmark for a general idea, realizing that this is compiling a much larger codebase than you'd likely run into for a while: https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Have you tried XcodeBenchmark?

I have a feeling that a lot of us are familiar with https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark. But this is another piece of data that seems to agree with the results I've seen.

There's a lot of models covered in: https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark
Jameson on Twitter: "We recently found that the new 2021 M1 MacBooks cut our Android build times in half. So for a team of 9, $32k of laptops will actually save $100k in productivity over 2022. The break-even point happens at 3 months. TL;DR Engineering hours are much more expensive than laptops!"

M1 vs M1 pro MacBook for Xcode

The question was more about low amount of ram. But still, 64gb shows fastest result comparing with 32gb.
