Dear webmasters, for “simple” cookies settings windows like this, you should be tortured equally. https://ibb.co/dp89vYQ You are trying to “make” the users click “Allow all” just to hide this trash as quickly as possible. It is low.

The whole website seems ill-conceived, with popups appearing above the graphs they're supposed to explain and obscuring them.

How about ARM? Included in the report?

There is very little offering and honestly afaik they are not competing on performance except niche applications. It's not that easy to displace x86...

I'm not sure that is accurate for Gravaton3, which appears to be besting intel/amd in a number of cases. So, it doesn't appear there is a clear leader between the amd, intel and gravaton instances. Meaning everyone should be benchmarking their application and picking one.

Amazon here seems to be leading the Arm technology pack, as they are using a newer generation of CPU, while arm instances on other providers tend to be providing gravaton2 (Neoverse-N1) based instances. I would imagine that gradually changing in the near future as those vendors also upgrade.

As a AMD fanboy who loves seeing them back on top, I’m just happy we have a competitive CPU market now. I’ll include the M-series from Apple as well, despite being platform locked, because it also forces the other players to up their game.

I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. The insane memory bandwidth of the M1 is what keeps it competitive.

I read this as a strategic move. As their main goal is to get your name, company, title and email to download the report. So they were showing you snippets of interesting charts and then quickly covering it up.

I guess they make the information on the site unusable to obtain your work e-mail for downloading the pdf.

Graviton3 on AWS is better for most applications on a cost/performance basis, and in some cases also on straight latency.

Honeycomb has some great blogs about it: https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/present-future-arm-aws-gravito...

Can we just go back to good old days and stop with animations to bring the content from all directions which is even slow enough I get blank screen for a few seconds as I scroll down which really reduces the readability.
