The writeup states that their observation is that compute perf is the biggest factor in the TCP-C benchmark. Nitro AFAIU is mainly about networking.

I think all the clouds use the same basic physical CPU sets, so I'm more surprised about the perf being much different in previous years, than I am about the perf being similar this year. Maybe the hypervisor layer was much more efficient at AWS or something?
