From the Hacker News thread
A blog post is coming, so I might have jumped the shark here. An interesting note from a Cloudflare engineer: Most powerful Xeon is the 28 core Platinum 2180 at $10k RSP and >200W TDP. Due to the nature of Intel turbo boost it almost always operates at TDP under load. Our ARM is the Centriq 2452 at less than $1400 RSP, 46 cores and 120W TDP, that it never hits. Beats Xeon 9/10 workloads. twitter.com/thecomp1ler/status/97661788…
