In a recent study by Cockroach Labs, it was found that AMD and AWS' Graviton2 Processor outperformed Intel in multi-core CPU benchmarks. While Intel excelled in single-core performance, the ability to scale to multiple cores proved crucial for complex applications, particularly cloud-based ones. The study also revealed that GCP led the way in raw throughput performance and AWS' Graviton2 Processor enabled better multi-CPU scaling than other machines tested.
