How is the M1 Max 14-inch MacBook Pro performance with Xcode? In this review I go through the Xcode WebKit build plugged in, on battery power, and low power mode. Is the fan noise too much and is the thermal envelope too small for the 14-inch MacBook Pro for heavy tasks? I also ran this same build on the M1 Mac Mini.
