In one of Martin Thompsons talks he gave an overview of the pyramid of speed, working from CPU registers out to remote storage, showing how storage classes along the way get progressively slower to access. He also gave some approximate numbers to each storage class, but I can't find a document online that contains this information, or the right section of one of his talks on youtube to extract this from. Can anyone help me fill in the Xs in the table below? Obviously it depends on the exact hardware, but approximate figures will do, its just to illustrate a point and get a feel for how this scale operates. Thanks.
