Care to link to processor efficiency benchmarks underlining your statement?



That page is most assuredly not comparing apples to apples. The isn't noted at all, it's more of a comparison on peak power usage, which you could maybe use to plan cooling, and a comment on idle power usage.

But you would need to compare total watts for enough systems to get the throughput you need, which I suspect is not the same and is likely workload dependent.

For home use, where you are likely to only have a single system, you can directly compare idle usage, but for Google how many idle systems depends on your thrroughput needs --- and maybe Google can orchestrate shutdown / reuse of idle servers off-peak, so it might be moot.


Not bench marks, but Amazon is saying their new R5a and M5a running on Eypc will offer 10 percent savings on compute costs.
