This was after Qualcomm made a large investment in Cloudflare https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-raised-110m-from-fidelity-google-microsoft-baidu-and-qualcomm/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-raised-110m-from-fidelity... Still no real benchmarks from the Qualcomm ARM boards Cloudflare is using, or availability to anyone else except Cloudflare. (Unlikely to ever happen now with the CPU being discontinued, seems pretty damn unlikely it was ever really very competitive. )

"ARM Takes Wing: Qualcomm vs. Intel CPU comparison" https://blog.cloudflare.com/arm-takes-wing/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/arm-takes-wing/ Maybe you don't consider those "real" benchmarks, but they look like benchmarks to me.

  Impressive: "With the NGINX workload [Falkor/AMD] handled almost the same amount of requests as the Skylake server. [Falkor/AMD] managed to get 214 requests/watt vs the Skylake’s 99 requests/watt"

    It's not entirely clear what the power consumption is actually measuring. If it's not whole-system draw then it could be highly misleading. What is considered "CPU power" and what doesn't can vary (like does it include the memory controller? Or PCI-E controller? etc...)
