Groan. Absolutely not. :)
c8g passmark score: 1853 c8i passmark score: 3008
I guess the fps column isn't a good representation of single thread score. Also looking at the passmark scores for i4i vs i4g, i4g is about 1k and intel is about 2k, and the more modern Graviton equivalent of i4 is the same price, so...

Silly amazon.
So confident. And exactly the whack-a-mole nonsense I predicted.
See the comment by electroly. They actually know what they're talking about.
See, the FPS score is for the whole machine. The c8g gives you 8 real cores. The C8i gives you 4 real cores, 4 hyperthreading pseudo-cores. So for those two machines the c8g unequivocally gives you more absolute computing performance, regardless of the passmark single thread (on a single core) on the c8i being better than a single core on the c8g. And the c8g comes at a big discount as well.
That's...the point. The Graviton processors are cheaper per core, and lower performance per core, and you make it up in bulk. You get more performance per $ if you're okay with the ARM stack and your software is good with it, and this is basically universally true comparing Graviton instances versus Intel/AMD alternatives.
You're wrong. Maybe cite some other random nonsense now?
