MacBook Air M4 10 Core 24GB [175.325 Seconds] Xcode 16.2
hey @Rotten-Commits, thanks for that! Any issues with CPU temperature? MBP has active cooling, MBAir has passive one - this is what concerns me
@kpacholak If I can share my experience, I have MacBook Air M3 2024 and I don't have any cooling issues. I do iOS development on a daily basis and everything works perfectly. Yes, the Macbook Pro has slightly better performance when building an app, but you'll hardly notice that it doesn't have a fan.

I didn't notice any real throttling as this is just a benchmark meant to peg the system. I did end up returning it and getting a MBP m4 pro with 24 GB though. Though I did so more for the need of a hdmi port, pro motion and the extra tb5 port. The m4 air is more than capable imho.
Can anybody share how M4 Air behave while debugging in XCode? My M1 Air hangs for about a minute to show variable value on breakpoint and it's very irritating. I think to switch to M4 Air but did not find any review of such thing.

I don't think it's hardware issue. It's Xcode issue IMO.
I think you did sth wrong here, max tech calculated it 142s with 16 GB memory. 24 GB should take less time.
