Intel x86 vs. ARM Architecture: A Comparative Analysis for Server Technologies In the dynamic field of server technology, the battle between CPU architectures has become a focal point, especially between Intel’s x86 architecture and ARM-based processors. This blog post provides a comprehensive comparison of these two architectures, focusing specifically on their performance metrics, energy efficiency, and their overarching impact on the server and cloud computing sectors. Detailed Architectural Insights Intel x86 Architecture Intel’s x86 architecture, grounded in a complex instruction set computing (CISC) framework, offers a broad instruction range and high computation capabilities....

When selecting a compute instance, factors such as raw computational power, price-to-performance ratio, and workload optimization play a significant role. The following standard flex shapes available in most OCI regions are: VM.Standard.E4.Flex (Processor: AMD EPYC 7J13. Base frequency 2.55 GHz, max boost frequency 3.5 GHz) VM.Standard.E5.Flex (Processor: AMD EPYC 9J14. Base frequency 2.4 GHz, max boost frequency 3.7 GHz) VM.Standard3.Flex (Processor: Intel Xeon Platinum 8358. Base frequency 2.6 GHz, max turbo frequency 3....

A while ago, I developed a tool with the aim of assessing the actual performance improvement between different versions of PHP. Subsequently, I search to understand which AWS instance type was the most performant. Since AWS does not allow for custom sizing of CPU and RAM resources, I wanted to explore the differences among the various instance types and determine which one would be most cost-effective to choose. During the holiday season, I dedicated myself to expanding this project and doing the same analysis with OCI , Oracle Cloud Infrastructure....
