Compare different hardware in terms of performance/speed in Grasshopper

What is a useful method to compare different computer hardware in terms of performance and speed in Grasshopper?

Does it make sense to compare the computing time of a single component as shown in the picture below? Or should I take a large script and check the total computing time?

I’m asking because I switched from an M1 MacBook Air to an M3 Max MacBook Pro and didn’t really feel (or see) any improvement in performance. :frowning:

I also noticed that the utilization of the new Mac barely goes over 15%, which was different on my M1. Is this because Grasshopper mainly works on a single core?

If I want maximum speed when working on large scripts, should I look for single-core benchmark performance and simply choose the fastest CPU?

Thanks a lot <3

Except for a small number of very specific computations Grasshopper is single threaded. Single core performance is all that matters.
