APU: Accelerated Processing Unit is the AMD’s Fusion architecture that integrates both CPU and GPU on the same die. They introduced the architecture of coarse grain reconfigurable array (CGRA) for statically scheduled data flow computing in HOTCHIPS’17 and its software stack of compiler and linker in ICCAD’17.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

SQL Server According to Bob
SEPTEMBER 26, 2016
When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

The cheapest (high volume) Androids perform like 2012/2013 iPhones, respectively. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version. Mind The Gap. Tap for a larger version.

By Werner Vogels on 16 August 2012 10:00 AM. An apples to apples comparison of the costs associated with running various usage patterns on-premises and with AWS requires more than a simple comparison of hardware expense versus always-on utility pricing for compute and storage. Total Cost of Ownership and the Return on Agility.
