2017 Benchmarking Hardware Performance

TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones.

These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here. A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption. How would you _time_ time?

The usual caveats also apply: Performance is a deep and nuanced domain, and much can go wrong beyond content size and composition. How sites manage resources after-load can have a big impact on perceived performance. Until and unless teams have better data about their performance, the global baseline budget should be enforced.

Classics of the genre include: Apple's just focused on performance! The Performance Argument. As an engineer on a browser team, I'm privy to the blow-by-blow of various performance projects, benchmark fire drills, and the ways performance marketing (deeply) impacts engineering priorities. This is as it should be.

TL;DR: performance budgets are an essential but under-appreciated part of product success and team health. — Alex Russell (@slightlylate) October 4, 2017. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Maybe "ambush by JS"?

It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). The initial reviews and benchmarks for these processors have been very impressive: AMD EPYC 7002 Series Rome Delivers a Knockout. TPC-H Benchmark Results with SQL Server 2017.
