Ampere Altra Mt Jade vs. Xeon vs. EPYC Benchmarks

Benchmarks for a future article. Compared to prior out-of-the-box Ubuntu results, this round of testing is with the performance governor forced on all CPUs. Also with the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS being catered on each server to the processor microarchitecture under test. Ampere Altra "Boost" run is when force enabling CPUFreq boost on Ubuntu.
