Macbook Pro 13 2018 and Android development

[c8y]

Maybe someone will find the following information useful. I tried to measure how fast is my new Macbook Pro 13/i5/16GB RAM compared to other Macbooks Pro.

As a benchmark I used compilation of https://github.com/google/santa-tracker-android (commit: 2e316ae and the following gradle command: ./gradlew clean santa-tracker:assembleDebug)

The results:

MacBook Pro 13” 2018 (i5/16GB RAM)
Total time: 1 mins 59.381 secs
Total time: 1 mins 47.974 secs
Total time: 1 mins 51.738 secs
Total time: 1 mins 50.464 secs
Total time: 1 mins 53.142 secs

MacBook Pro 15” 2014 (base i7/16GB RAM)
Total time: 2 mins 15.447 secs
Total time: 2 mins 6.935 secs
Total time: 2 mins 1.661 secs
Total time: 2 mins 2.499 secs

MacBook Pro 13” 2016 (touchbar i5/8GB RAM)
Total time: 3 mins 17.54 secs
Total time: 2 mins 59.405 secs
Total time: 3 mins 7.145 secs
Total time: 3 mins 6.106 secs
Total time: 3 mins 3.665 secs

Excellent work! Let's see if anyone can contribute 13" i7 2018 and 15" i7 2018 data for same task.

I would love to see a comparison of your machine (same as mine!) compared to the 2017 15".

What do multiple total times represent? Multiple runs, passes of the gradle build or ??

Yes, I run the builds couple times, but the results were consistent. (And I always removed the first one on each computer, because it involved downloading the dependencies and was significantly longer - about 1 minute for each computer).
