not sure, what they are measuring though - random Xeon from spec.org: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2017q3/cpu2006-20170... ; at most 30% higher frequency, yet twice as fast. Well...

so could you provide some actual, open-source basic benchmarks. And not strange, opaque geekbench results... I guess AMD is fine for me (as is my old Intel-notebook) and I'll just wait for POVray, GROMACS and Co. EDIT: And well, I not

I was saying Tier 3, where Tier 1 ist GCP, AWS, Azure, Tier 2 Oracle, IBM and Co. and Tier 3 everyone else who is so small that he can't compete with his own API for the breadcrumbs.

you generally have a unified API with all the Tier3-clouds already. Everyone is using OpenStack. A pragmatic way would have been buying RedHat and making a foundation out of it, but keeping the business running. But that would actually work
