[PERFORM] 10x faster sort performance on Skylake CPU vs Ivy Bridge

2017-08-25 Thread Felix Geisendörfer
es Sort benefit so massively from the advancement here (~10x), but Seq Scan, Unique and HashAggregate don't benefit as much (~2x)? As you can probably tell, my hardware knowledge is very superficial, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd genuinely like to improve my understanding and intuition
