I think you're getting ThunderX2 and ThunderX mixed up here.

In my experience, for tasks like everyday operation, kernel building etc.: Thunderx < ThunderX2 < eMAG (Ampere's platform before N1).

I wouldn't say it's the same order of magnitude for the 2 comparisons, but it's definitely noticeable.
