### Normalized Throughput per vCPU
Across batch sizes up to 64, Intel Xeon 6 processor‑powered `C4` consistently outperforms `C3` with a 1.4x to 1.7× throughput per-vCPU. The formula is:

$$normalized\\_throughput\\_per\\_vCPU = (throughput\\_C4 / vCPUs\\_C4) / (throughput\\_C3 / vCPUs\\_C3)$$
$$
\text{normalized\_throughput\_per\_vCPU}
=
\frac{\text{throughput\_C4} / \text{vCPUs\_C4}}
{\text{throughput\_C3} / \text{vCPUs\_C3}}
$$

### Cost & TCO
At batch size 64, `C4` provides 1.7× the per‑vCPU throughput of `C3`; with near parity in price per vCPU (hourly cost scales linearly with vCPU count), this yields a 1.7× TCO advantage (`C3` would require 1.7× the spend for the same generated token volume).

Per‑vCPU throughput ratio: $(throughput\\_C4 / vCPUs\\_C4) / (throughput\\_C3 / vCPUs\\_C3) = 1.7 ⇒ \frac{TCO\\_C3}{TCO\\_C4} ≈ 1.7$
Per‑vCPU throughput ratio:
$$
\frac{\text{throughput\_C4} / \text{vCPUs\_C4}}{\text{throughput\_C3} / \text{vCPUs\_C3}}
= 1.7
\Rightarrow
\frac{\text{TCO\_C3}}{\text{TCO\_C4}} \approx 1.7
$$
