I wonder if anyone has run benchmark like that lately? Doing such a
benchmark maybe worth while given that so much is now running either in the
cloud or running in a VM or some other kind of Container. all this
abstraction from the hardware layer surely has had to have an impact on the
numbers and rules of thumb...

I still run on real hardware and spinning disk.
