Do we have any specifics on how the perf compares to Aurora? Is the 2x mentioned on the blog based on any specific benchmark?

The 2x was based on an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) benchmark that is based on industry standard TPC-C benchmark in our own testing.

Do you have more info on the benchmark? e.g. No. of connections, DB instance type/configuration used, scale, etc.?

Not anything I can talk about now unfortunately. Stay tuned though. :)
