So if my code is parallel enough to take advantage of all the cores, like a web server serving 96 requests simultaneously, one per core, would I get better perf

So if my code is parallel enough to take advantage of all the cores, like a web server serving 96 requests simultaneously, one per core, would I get better performance than Intel? Better performance per watt?

You would run 96 processes one for each core. Performance more depends on IO that CPU in reality. What ARM will bring is competitive market and no Intel Tax. Average 1U in ARM will be massively cheaper. For servers OpenPOWER is more interesting[1] [1]https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/07/open_power_summit_power9/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/07/open_power_summit_p...
