It would be interesting to see the same benchmarks for more normal amounts of cores. Most system does not have 240 cores, after all..

- readerrrr 12y agoThe latest Intel hi-end desktop cpu has 8 cores. With hyper-threading; which makes 16 threads. I think in the next 10 years we will reach a number that is close.

- ck2 12y agoYou can get 20core/40thread servers for $400/mo these days: http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/enterprise/2014-MG-256.xml http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/enterprise/2014-MG-2... or 16core/32thread for $270 http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/enterprise/2014-MG-128.xml http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/enterprise/2014-MG-1... So double socket performance drop is a realistic concern.
- davidlohr 12y agoMost of these optimizations imply scaling by number of cores. Thus the more cores (and thus sockets/NUMA nodes), the more the benefit. Desktop-ish systems with ~4 cores don't see much gain, but nor did we introduce performance degradations.
