On highly parallel tasks such as being a web server or cmake/ninja-based software compilation it should give a 12-16 core x86 such as Ryzen 9 7900, 7900x, 7950x a run for its money. Complete machines with one of those tend to cost $2k+.
Performance is always hard to quantify when it comes to comparing different architectures. I have some arm boards that are quad core 2ghz, but they perform nothing like an x86 equivalent.
64 cores sounds like a lot, but comparing it to a 12 core ryzen makes it sound relatively weak. I hope some benchmarks come out to compare with.
Well, yes, on a per core basis it is of course very weak compared to current cores from Intel / AMD / Apple.
The C910 is very comparable to an Arm A72, as in the Raspberry Pi 4.

If those boards are A15 (e.g. Odroid XU3/XU4) or A72 then they are very comparable on a per-core basis to the SG2042.
If they are A55 then they are quite a lot weaker.
What do you mean by "x86 equivalent"? If you mean current generation x86 at 2 GHz then of course not. If you mean Pentium-M or Core/Core 2 at 2 GHz then an A15 or A72 should be quite comparable.
Newegg link or it doesn't exist :)
