They are doing different things in this benchmark.

NodeJS has one thread with a very tight loop.

Go actually spawned 1M green threads.

Honestly this benchmark is just noise. Not to say useless in most real world scenarios. Specially because each operation is doing nothing. It would be somewhat useful if they were doing some operation like a DB or HTTP call.
