I find this surprising in both directions:
Either that an AWS M3 medium instance is so slow or that ARM servers got so fast!
Edit: It seems that ARM CPUs got really fast: According to [1] an Intel Core i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz gets a Passmark score of 12k.

- Ardren 12y agoI am 99% sure that's not the same benchmark. The cheapest way to break 12,000 CPUMarks is a $370 Intel Core i7-5820K (15MB of cache, 6 cores, 12 threads). Perhaps they are using the Android benchmark. A score of 12,000 is about what a quad core ARMv7 phone gets. http://www.androidbenchmark.net/cpumark_chart.html http://www.androidbenchmark.net/cpumark_chart.html Edit: Compared with the cross-platform Geekbench3 a HTC One (ARMv7 4 core, 1.7-2.2Ghz, 12,000 Android CPUMarks) gets between 2,000 and 3,000 points[1], while a 5820K gets around 20,000 points[2].

- rkrzr 12y agoAh that would explain it. That's a pretty misleading claim then. So I guess ARMs are still pretty slow and Amazon is not all that terrible after all performance-wise. That also makes more sense intuition-wise.
