Except it's really hard to benchmark on ARMv8 since non-Apple hardware is expensive.

- rwmj 12y agoBig companies have plenty of access. I work for Red Hat and have one right next to my desk. I also know SUSE and MSFT have the hardware, and I'm sure many more. I've been working on fixing bugs in the ARMv8 backend in the OCaml compiler - it's now stable, and performs very well (I can't go into exact performance details for contract reasons). http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6489 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6489 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6284 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6284 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6283 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6283 (and more ...)
- lazyjones 12y ago> hard to benchmark on ARMv8 since non-Apple hardware is expensive. If Android will do - Cortex-A53 smartphones like the Huawei Ascend Y550 cost 120€ nowdays in Europe (about 4x the price of a Raspberry Pi).

The problem with these phones and tablets is they are quite unlike server hardware: - Far too little memory (2GB vs 16/32GB+) - Slow flash vs SATA disks - The "zoo" of u-boot/proprietary kernel crap, instead of UEFI, ACPI and standard upstream kernels - Nonsense like locked bootloaders (Nexus 9 disables HYP mode in the bootloader!!!)
