It doesn't sound remotely right to me either. It could be NUMA since the Intel and AMD systems are NUMA but the eMAG is not. The code for this benchmark appears to be https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench/blob/master/src/tests/m... which... is not an interesting way to benchmark a large server IMO. Running a single process with a lot of threads and a lot of RAM on a NUMA server is going to perform poorly (unless you do a lot of tuning which I don't recommend either). "Microservices" might run a lot faster.
