It's basically for private/personal usage, almost no concurrent jobs ever, but I don't have the entire day to wait for builds. Doing maybe 10-12 builds per day on average. Storage won't be an issue, it'll be networked from outside of the box, but I'm curious if there is massive difference in performance between M4 Pro and M3 Ultra. FWIW, I'm mostly doing Rust builds at the moment.

I’m doing that (similar scale and same language) with a base model M4 mini. Works great. Anything more is overkill imo.

    Thanks! Yeah, guess it's mostly nitpicky choice between M4 Pro and M3 Ultra, and both would work fine ultimately.

      I mean, I think the non-Pro base model M4 would be just fine for a CI box. Unless you are compiling something the whole of Chromium all day every day.
