I think you can still drive some insights. I clicked on the TPC-C results you shared and read their executive summaries.
The Oracle on SPARC cluster (at the top, 2010) performs 30.2M qualified tx/min vs the 16K tx/min in this blog post. The Oracle cluster also costs $30M, which is clearly higher than the Cockroach cluster's cost.
That said, the TPC-C benchmark is new to me. Happy to update this comment if I'm misreading the numbers.
