> I ran these benchmarks on an older 16-thread AMD 3700X
The 3700X is an 8 Core Zen 2 CPU. Or about 150 RPS per vCPU. By EOY we will have 256 Core Zen 6c EPYC, on a Dual Socket that is 512 Core or 1024 Thread. 153,600 RPS.
And in the old days a RPS is a single pageview, which isn't the case in the modern world.
CPU Core still have a healthy 5 - 10 years cost reduction roadmap. I wonder if CGI will make a comeback someday.
