I'd love to know how it performs. In my experience the best fastest way to compile firmware is with CPU with the highest single-core performance. Which is a gaming CPU in practice. Highly parallel server CPUs are rubbish in comparison.

@revkarol natively the M2 Max, which is the one I have, probably have amongst the highest single core perf out there but I’m not sure what remains after the transcoding since Rosetta doesn’t just emulate.
