Note: the underlying comparison to other systems is from a 2014 blogpost [1] which suggest they used the m2.4xlarge series of EC2 VMs (which were Nehalem class parts from 2010). Nehalem vs Haswell or Broadwell (the likely parts underlying Lambda) is a pretty big jump. Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud, but I'm just pointing out a fact ;).
