Pretty pointless benchmark since it does not use prepared statements (that much is obvious from the low TPS, plus I confirmed it with how he ran the benchmark).

Pretty pointless benchmark since it does not use prepared statements (that much is obvious from the low TPS, plus I confirmed it with how he ran the benchmark). You need to pass "-M prepared" to pgbench. And it is very possible that the Redis benchmark is equally flawed. If you have to parse and plan queries every time PostgreSQL is obviously much slower than Redis. It is much more interesting to see what happens if prepared statements are used.
