There is a comparison of Blake3 to various hash functions (including SHA-2 and SHA-3 families) on AWS c5.metal; see the chart here: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3

Yes, and it didn't go unnoticed that KangarooTwelve (which - mind - does not belong to the SHA-3 family right now) is not included on that prominent comparison diagram, while it is considered in the BLAKE3 paper.

I felt it would've been unfair to include KangarooTwelve in that particular bar chart, because at 16 KiB of input it hasn't reached its peak throughput. At the same time, the goal was to focus on more widely used algorithms.

That's a good point; I was just giving you a handy chart with an explicitly called out platform :)
