uhh, in 2015 a i7 had 4cores, boost of around 3.4

in 2018 a mobile i9 had 6cores/12threads, bost of around 4.8 (so lets be reasonable, thermals might let us keep 3.6).

For a super optimized parallel load you could totally see more than 2x speed up.

But yeah... why do that on your laptop?

If it takes 15min locally then you should do it locally. My rule of thumb.. if it takes > 1 hr locally it should be done elsewhere.

Not on a 13" MBP, it didn't. Source: there's one on my desk.
