Toshiba Portégé Z830, with an iCore 5 at 1.60GHz, 6 GB of memory, and a tiny 128 GB SSD. It takes 12 seconds from GRUB to GDM, and from the time I enter my password and my GNOME 3 desktop is ready it takes another 6 seconds, so 18 seconds in total (plus how much it takes for me to click in my user and enter my password). Like you, I attribute most of the speed gain to the SSD. The rest is systemd.
