Now its getting really interesting: In the end you have to compare pricing for a vCore (which is a thread on a cpu) with per-thread performance on AMD vs. Intel. Does anyone know a benchmark like this? Epyc Processors are most often tested on heavy parallelizable tasks and not strictly single thread tasks.

I don't work there any more, but back when I was at Google Cloud we developed our own benchmarking suite, partly to answer questions like this. It's open source, you can run it too: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker
