This is the last evolution of the quite old APM X-Gene microarchitecture and you can see it's way worse per clock than Cortex-A72. Ampere just had to have something out of the door in 2019 I guess.
The new Ampere "Altra" chip is going to be like an Amazon Graviton2, but higher clocked, so that's going to be really fast.

The latter (https://www.anandtech.com/show/12571/gigabyte-thunderxstation-cavium-thunderx2-socs https://www.anandtech.com/show/12571/gigabyte-thunderxstatio...) is a pretty serious piece of developer hardware, with much better single thread perf, and 64 cores. But its also quite spendy, and you have to be a really serious arm developer to be able to justify one.
