If you aren't compute bound, most workloads are dictated by the speed of main memory. And most business workloads spend their time waiting. Intel has historically focused on single core performance, this is what they are _really_ good at while this graviton part has decided to go wide and focus on many core.
The memory controller on the ARM part must be excellent given that the Intel machine had 2x sockets.
I don't think a core to core comparison or core to hyperthreaded core makes much sense. There are so many other unknowns, they only appear to be similar metrics. $/work_unit is the benchmark I would focus on in case like object storage.
