Encouraging! #AppleM1 Silicon (MBA) smokes my 2017 MBP15" i7 on #rstats #tidverse tidymodels hotel example, random forests (last fit 100 trees). Experimental arm-R build = extra speedup. Thanks @fxcoudert for gfortran build & @juliasilge @topepos + team for the nice API + DOC. 
And it’s wonderful to see that essential R packages are working on the M1 platform.
Another implication might be that 4 cores are a good default for parallel processing with this configuration. The original tidymodels example would select 8 cores here. tidymodels.org/start/case-stu…
The @Apple elves just dropped off an M1 powered Macbook Air. Let's see hoe good this thing really is!!

Confirmed. Apples new processor destroys my macbook pro 16" with an 8 core I9 with geekbench. Impressive considering this laptop is apples new entry level machine. Let's see if it does standard things like running the software I use daily.

Considering this is day 1 of these machines being in the wild, I am expecting some software not to work great until developers get their universal binary versions out. This isn't my main work machine, but a test machine for the moment.
