To add on to what denotational wrote, an assertive and wrong statement on the cpu performance also implies they didn't research too in depth before running the benchmark, so it casts doubt on if they controlled for other factors in their test too.

Do any of the providers make you choose between directly attached storage and network block storage? etc.
