Hard to compare without mentioning the actual CPU in it. FWIW my Ryzen 3900X completes that compile in 15s.

To be fair, that is a relatively high-end desktop CPU, but it's also a massive margin for a last-gen model.

We also have to consider the i7 and M1 run at about 1/7 the TDP of the Ryzen. Just underscores the good design behind the QoS and judicious use of the Performance cores vs Efficiency cores.
Yeah, but that's previous generation. Get a 5850U or even a 5980HX...
My water-cooled 3900XT is locked to 4.4ghz all cores with relatively fast double banked 2x16GB c15 3600mhz memory. (It never drops under 4.4 on any of the 12/24 cores.)

Also has a Samsung 980 1TB drive, and a 3070 GPU; the system truly is extremely quick. (Win10+WSL2).

(I'll have to try that compile in the next day or so; will reply to myself here).
