Compression helped, but not enough in our experiments https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/#eyJzeXN0ZW0iOnsiQWxsb3lEQi...

All depends on the benchmark :)

Do you have a version using the same instance type? Seems weird to mix them.

Indeed, ClickHouse results were run on an older instance type of the same family and size (c5.4xlarge for ClickHouse and c6a.4xlarge for Timescale), so if anything ClickHouse results are at a slight disadvantage.

This is an open source benchmark - we'd love contributions from Timescale enthusiasts if we missed something: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/

Eh, c6a is also an AMD Rome which has worse memory bandwidth at the tails and weaker per thread performance than Cascadelake (c5). I don't understand anything about this particular benchmark, but I wouldn't compare them simply as "older vs newer".
