I'm seeing a big different when compiling our project, with the M1 Macbook Pro beating the iMac Pro when building our projects (23min vs 38 mins).

Is it all CPU though, or is building ARM artefacts less resource intensive than bulding ones for Intel ?

iMac Pro has a large variety of performance, going from 8 to 18 cores and it uses a 4+ year old Xeon CPU. Unsurprisingly the 18 core handily beats the M1 in multi-core benchmarks:
