You are not doing a release build.

thanks, problem solved - now it's 1 minute...

Wow. The fact that my Sandy Bridge laptop from 2011 does it in only 1:41 is pretty indicative of how badly processor improvements stalled out last decade. My processor (like yours, 4c8t): https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/52219/i...

You compare TDP 45W CPU vs 15W. I think this is great improvement. (But latter one is also 25W cTDP and turbo boost provides more power, many factors depends on how the laptop implemented)

I think the point is even a laptop from 2011 is acceptable for development. I wouldn't mind the power draw since its plugged in, the compile time either, cold compile 20s-2min is much the same for me, recompile where it counts is much faster
