To add to what dvirsky said [and I'm also from Redis Labs]
- Redis Enterprise adds some enhancements to the Redis storage layer (details are in the blog).
- This benchmark only tested the Redis Enterprise. The idea was to show how fast Redis (Enterprise) can run on a single node with ACID transactions and still keep sub-millisecond latency. Note the hidden point - at the moment you cannot achieve sub-millisecond latency over the cloud (any cloud) storage, I mean persistent storage that is attached to an instance and not the local storage, which is ephemeral by design. So in-order to see how far we can go we decided to test it over Dell-EMC's VMAX that doesn't have these limitations
- In theory adding CPUs/cores can of course help, as you can add more shards to the Redis cluster and increase the parallelism when accessing the storage. That said, we haven't tested it over AMD ThreadRipper.
