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?

Single thread performance is important for many workloads. It's not nonsense. Things like index builds on an i4g vs i4i could be half as slow. That's really important!

I don't know why you continue to be a fucking asshole. It's just a hosting provider. Go touch grass.
