Also they have put a lot of effort into ISA/OS neutrality (so yes, they are comparable) - unlike Phoronix which doesn't even compare the same source code in many cases!
Then I'll believe you.

NUVIA is pushing a SOC in a server - that is indeed interesting, but I am not sure how many datacenters/pro ITs will try this.
Comparing a SOC that don't care about multiple pci-express buses, super fast RAM bus and enormous cache is interesting, but you have to prove that we don't need all those extra features that Intel/AMD provide.
Don't misunderstand: I have always supported ARM, I like clean designs, I think it works great in embedded and specific applications, but I think there are some fantasies on ARM being that much superior to x64, and the software and hardware ecosystem is somewhat lagging in existence or support.
