I have to admit i was surpassed. Because I remember Anandtech doing an Article on Centriq and it wasn't at all impressive. So the number from Cloudflare, and Qualcomm TCO [1] seems strange. Then i realise I had it wrong, the article Anandtech reviewed was ARMv8 but from Cavium, this one from Qualcomm seems impressive enough. And it is much cheaper then Intel.
The most interesting is the last 2 paper. Redis smells like Baidu to me, which has the largest number of Redis instance in production. HHVM could be Facebook, Wikipedia, Wordpress or all three.
All these companies are running thousands of servers.
I never thought the day ARM's attack on server would come so quick, judging from Ampere and Cavium. But it seems Qualcomm has something right. And they have more improvement coming next year, as compared to Intel which is more of the same. No wonder why they have uArch and Node First Strategy for their DC Segment.
