Databricks didn't run the Snowflake comparison in-house. From their article it says: "These results were corroborated by research from Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which frequently runs TPC-DS on popular data warehouses. Their latest research benchmarked Databricks and Snowflake, and found that Databricks was 2.7x faster and 12x better in terms of price performance."

I don't trust a supercomputer center to do a good job running a TPC benchmark (I do trust them to run LINPACK benchmarks).
