It measures latency, not throughput. CPU or memory latency has not improved a lot, but throughput has through increased core count and instruction level parallelism. If you look at throughput per watt, the improvement is greater.
- bostonpete 8y agoI assume the "send 2000 bytes over a commodity network" is measuring throughput rather than latency. If not, I really don't understand what it's describing...
- gpderetta 8y agoIt is litterally the lenght of a 2000*8 bit backet in a serial link, in ns. The number seems way off unless my math is wrong or 200Gb ethernet counts as commodity today.
