Hello! Im searching for laptop in 1000-1500 Euro price range. Main requirement: CPU should be as fast as possible. I dont care about performance of individual cores, I need it to be fast from multicore perspective. Also optionally it should be compact, like macbooks.

Please share your recommendations. Thank you!

Rust, docker, nix etc. you got me. I want to maximize my productivity at work

If you want fast nix evals and docker builds, you absolutely do care about per-core performance.

I have little experience with Rust but, while I do know that it parallelises quite well, I also believe that there are still many single-threaded operations on the critical path though such as linking.

I think for your purposes, you'll do well with any 8-core AMD Zen4 that can draw more than 45W or any 4+n core Zen5. The latter would be a bit more efficient but practically the same perf in code compilation.

Intel is not competitive currently and ARM is still not quite there yet.

Is this the budget your job allowed you, or are you spending your own money to be more productive?
