Re:Supermicro Throws Its Weight Behind Arm Servers by zX41ZdbW on Wednesday January 04, 2023 @05:59PM (#34253206)
It can be about the memory bandwidth, but it matters mostly for hi-end data processing software.

You can compare Threadripper (4-channel memory), Threadripper Pro (8-channel memory, same as for EPYC servers) and M1 by memory bandwidth.

Example 1: https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-threadripper-5965wx/5 - ClickHouse on Threadripper Pro with less number of cores but better memory bandwidth is faster than Threadripper with larger number of cores.

Example 2: https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/hardware/ various servers, while Aarch64 servers have good places, the top results are from EPYC servers. Never EPYC servers have 12-channel DDR-5 memory - sounds like a heaven for ClickHouse :)
