This could easily just be a lack of optimization for ARM. IIRC cloudflare reported a while ago that they were able to achieve 10x speed ups for some compression and cryptography tasks with relatively low effort.
- dragontamer 8y agoThat doesn't mean much for the typical web-dev though? Web developers are too busy developing their scripts and webpage. They won't have the time to drop down to the C intrinsic or Assembly level to speed things up. Furthermore, the problem could be fundamental to this chip. There is only a 1MB-per-core last-level cache (L2 cache). That likely isn't enough for anyone running your Linux / Database / PHP / Web Server stack. The chip does outstanding on "small" benchmarks like C-Ray, but it does horrible in practice, where you have more code (probably more than 1MB of "hot" code) running on the chip.
