I will be using the 50GB Stack Overflow 2013 database , but any large table with a low number of distinct values would do. The Stack Overflow 2013 database comes without nonclustered indexes to minimize download time. This machine has four i7 CPUs (hyperthreaded to 8) with a base speed of 2.4GHz. Test Environment.

Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds. In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers. I'd expect between 0.1% The AMI and boot are now HVM.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. The Moto G4 , for example.

This is the first time any server vendor has even bothered to submit a TPC-E result for an AMD-based system since 2013. Higher memory speed and bandwidth. Because of this, I think they will be a great choice for virtualization hosts and for Storage Spaces Direct nodes. Higher memory density/capacity. Lower power usage.

From 2008 to 2013, the Chrome project was based on WebKit, and a growing team of Chrome engineers began to contribute heavily "upstream." This brings us to the final link in the chain of structural security mitigations: the speed of delivering updates to end-users.
