👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 800, Mode: Read Write. Thelio Major - Threadripper 9980X was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 800, Mode: Read Write, Average Latency. Thelio Major - Threadripper 9980X was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 800, Mode: Read Only. Thelio Major - Threadripper 9980X was the fastest.

👁 PostgreSQL benchmark with settings of Scaling Factor: 100, Clients: 800, Mode: Read Only, Average Latency. Thelio Major - Threadripper 9980X was the fastest.

Across a variety of different workloads there was consistently healthy performance gains out of the new Thelio Major compared to the prior-generation unit based on the Threadripper 7000 series.
