> it's normally slower for server-workloads

I find this categorization of server workloads as something that is not latency sensitive bit weird. I'd imagine tons of server workloads that serve interactive users, for example a web server, should also care latency. If you for example are targeting <100ms p99 latency for your web service, then to me that sounds like it'd fall in the same ballpark as desktop use?

Sure there are still some batch workloads or other non-latency sensitive things around, but I'd almost expect those to be in the minority these days for servers.

Yes true, let's put it that way, "traditional" server-workloads.

Ah yes absolutely, if that needs that to be guaranteed maybe even real-time.
