Now that Apple has taken the lead in performance/battery life tradeoff, are there any machines which come close to the M1 for software dev? Specifically, compiling Rust, Android development etc. without giving up too much on battery life?

Also, the last time I checked, CPUs were reporting high performance but only under light load. Has the whole throttling situation changed or should I just expect to get 2 hours battery life in exchange for extreme CPU performance?

Edit: I should have specified machines that can run Linux.
