“We’re extremely happy with the performance improvements we get out of the M2 Pro Large stacks. Performance is still in line with the 20-25% improvement over M1 Large. And we haven’t experienced any issues. We’d be very happy to continue using M2 Pro Large 😊 I’d even be curious to check out an M2 Pro Extra Large with more Performance Cores for some builds”‍

Putting the power in Pro: How M2 Machines boost performance

The Bitrise M2 Pro machine types are powered by the strongest M2 Mac Mini version: the 12-core M2 Pro Mac Mini. With eight performance cores, this Mac Mini enables super-fast Xcode building and testing. In comparison, the M1 MacMini only has four performance cores.

Beta customers already see faster builds and app deployments

Bitrise has been offering the M2 Pro machine types in closed beta since September – and the results have been outstanding. As a result, customers have experienced significant performance improvements, enabling faster app development:

  • M2 Pro Medium is 25% faster compared to M1 Medium
  • M2 Pro Large is 25% faster compared to M1 Large
  • M2 Pro X Large is 10% faster compared to M1 Max Large
