👁 SVT-AV1 benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Encoder Mode: Preset 5, Input: Bosphorus 4K. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 SVT-AV1 benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Encoder Mode: Preset 8, Input: Bosphorus 4K. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 SVT-AV1 benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Encoder Mode: Preset 13, Input: Bosphorus 4K. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 SVT-AV1 benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Encoder Mode: Preset 13, Input: Beauty 4K 10-bit. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Benchmark: telco. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Benchmark: tornado_http. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, Benchmark: django_template. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

Across all the tested workloads, NVIDIA Vera showed just how great the ARM Linux performance has evolved in the past five years.

👁 Stream benchmark with settings of Type: Copy. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 Stream benchmark with settings of Type: Scale. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 Stream benchmark with settings of Type: Triad. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 Stream benchmark with settings of Type: Add. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

Going from eight channel DDR4-3200 to LPDDR5X-9600 is down right an insane difference.

👁 ClickHouse benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, 100M Rows Hits Dataset, First Run / Cold Cache. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

👁 ClickHouse benchmark with settings of Performance Per Thread, 100M Rows Hits Dataset, Second Run. 1 x NVIDIA Vera was the fastest.

So it shouldn't be surprising at all given the age of Ampere Altra, but NVIDIA Vera showed some very impressive results over this platform that was considered leading for ARM Linux servers just a few years ago. And with Ampere Altra still available in the marketplace and popular with DIY builds, it's interesting to quantify the difference. Plus with Ampere Altra being based on the Arm Neoverse-N1 core and the N1 being found in many different SoCs further adds to the curiosity against Vera.
