Coding Horror
It is, after all, someone else’s computer that you pay for the privilege of renting.
But wait… what if you could put your own computer “in the cloud”?
(idle login) 800 Mhz 10w stress --cpu 1 4.1 GHz 30w stress --cpu 2 4.1 GHz 42w stress --cpu 3 4.0 GHz 53w stress --cpu 4 3.9 GHz 65w stress --cpu 5 3.7 GHz 65w stress --cpu 6 3.5 GHz 65w stress --cpu 12 3.3 Ghz 65wI’d expect around 10 - 20 watts doing typical low-load stuff that isn’t super CPU intensive.
The sysbench results are 4086 and 11760 respectively, considerably below the 2019 Mini-PC results, above.)
As you can see, you pay almost three times as much for a cloud server.
