Most publications have simply reported the benchmark improvement claims, but if you stop to think about them, the numbers dont make sense based on a simplistic view of the technology changes. So first thing to understand is that the benchmark skips a generation and compares product that differs over about a two year interval.

HammerDB uses stored procedures to achieve maximum throughput when benchmarking your database. HammerDB has always used stored procedures as a design decision because the original benchmark was implemented as close as possible to the example workload in the TPC-C specification that uses stored procedures. On MySQL, we saw a 1.5X

As part of our new support for ARM processors , we recently ran benchmarks on both Intel C7 and ARM c7g on AWS. The goal of these benchmarks was to both quantify performance differences between the two platforms and gain an understanding of their TCO. We used an in-house benchmark called voltdb-charglt.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption.
