The interesting part is that Snowflake omits Databricks' performance scores in their graphs. Here is how they compare on TPC-DS benchmark, based on two companies' self-reports:

* Elapsed time: 3108s (Databricks) vs 3760s (Snowflake)

* Price/Peformance: $242 (Databricks) vs $267 (Snowflake)

Needless to say, these numbers seriously need a verification by independent 3rd parties, but it seems that Databricks is still 18% faster and 10% cheaper than Snowflake?

The way I read this is: DataBricks benchmarked against us, and they messed it up. Here is hou YOU should evaluate Snowflake performance. And, by the way, it is pretty easy to do it.
