XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.

You are probably familiar with the following question:

"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".

XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.

I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.

Q: What do the results mean?

  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.

Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?

  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.

Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?

  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.

Q: What do the results mean?
  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.
Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?
  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.
Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?
  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.

Repository files navigation
XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.
You are probably familiar with the following question:
"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".
XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.
I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.
Note
PR merging will be performed on a best-effort basis.

Q: What do the results mean?
  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.
Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?
  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.
Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?
  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.

XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.
You are probably familiar with the following question:
"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".
XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.
I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.
Note
PR merging will be performed on a best-effort basis.

Repository files navigation
XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.
You are probably familiar with the following question:
"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".
XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.
I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.
Note
PR merging will be performed on a best-effort basis.

XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.
You are probably familiar with the following question:
"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".
XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.
I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.

Q: What do the results mean?
  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.
Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?
  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.
Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?
  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.

Q: What do the results mean?
  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.
Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?
  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.
Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?
  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.

Repository files navigation
XcodeBenchmark contains a large codebase to measure the compilation time in Xcode.
You are probably familiar with the following question:
"Should I buy an i5, i7, or even i9 processor for iOS/macOS development?".
XcodeBenchmark is initially created for Max Tech YouTube channel to compare the performance of new iMacs 2020.
I believe the results will help developers to make the right cost/performance trade-off decision when choosing their next Mac.
Note
PR merging will be performed on a best-effort basis.

Q: What do the results mean?
  1. First of all, the project is huge. Most projects are of a much smaller size.
  2. The results show relative performance in Xcode, compared to other Macs running under similar conditions.
Q: Why is CocoaPods not excluded from git-repo?
  • The project is also used by non-programmers. Let's keep it simple.
Q: Will it affect my other Xcode projects?
  • A separate build folder is created for the benchmark run that is then deleted after it finishes. The folder goes to about 2.5GB.
