This test is flawed in so many ways. I just do not understand how the authors do not feel ashamed about what they're trying to sell to readers.
In a healthy environment the author/s presenting study of such quality would've been laughed out the door.
What their results are actually showing is that up to about 18 cores - the actual number of physical cores on a single Intel's CPU they've tested Intel kicks the shit out of Graviton. So if you want proper test to compare that particular Graviton 64 core CPU with the Intel then take system with single socket Intel CPU with 64 real cores as well and then come back with the results.
- kenz0r 6y agoI guess it depends on what they're trying to say (which isn't clear). When you get an AWS machine with 36 vCPUs, if you pick Intel, you get 36 threads, if you pick a Graviton2, you get 36 Cores.
- FpUser 6y agoAll I am trying to say if one wants to make comparisons the conditions must be equal. They're comparing peacocks to monkeys.
- marcinzm 6y agoNo, they’re comparing one physical Intel CPU/socket to one physical ARM cpu/socket of roughly equal price. That seems far more equal than an arbitrary comparison of cores when the architectures are so different.
- marcinzm 6y agoThe 64 core graviton costs less than the 18 core intel. Cores are meaningless, cost isn’t. So Intel looks even worse when cost is accounted for.
