I can also confirm that Stockfish is now about 75% faster after this one improvement.
Thanks to AndrovT and others for this great work.

Wow, I wouldn't have expected such a speedup being possible. Looks like I was wrong on that in https://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic. ... 48#p951139. :)

Stockfish developers feel free to due a second speed improvement on Apple devices.
I would like to see a second time a +75% speed up improvement.
2 improvements in a row = +150% :lol:

That’s a very good idea. But there is no time to waste.
The devices are worth the money. Buy now and use it fast.
