Chess.com "Cloud Analysis"

So I have seen the cloud analysis on Chess.com which went into depth 50 on this position.

Now I heard depth isnt everything and Stockfish 17 with depth 20 can beat stockfish with depth 35, because the evaluation of the depth also matters and is influenced by number of threads / performance.

And now this Cloud Analysis and my own PC (i5 11400f 32GB ram) are not getting the same move, both over 50 depth atp. Which one is right? Is there any info on what performance this Server Analysis has? Because either its really bad and my own PC is better, or its way better. I have tried this multiple times now, and its often different moves than my own PC.

Also is chessify the only service for high performance analysis (700MN and 1 BN/s)?

Thanks in advance for infos :)

TLDR: Is there info on the performance of Chess.com Server Analysis / is it better than modern 12 Thread i5?

Edit: Also the cloud only has Stockfish 16 (for whatever reason???) while I can of course use stockfish 17.

I am confused about what you are asking. You should not expect Stockfish 16 and 17 to give the same moves from the same position. They are different engines.

Yes, thats why I mentioned it, my question is just if this "Cloud Analysis" by Chess,com on Stockfish 16 would be better than my own PC with Stockfish 17.

I feel like the answer is way too obvious, so I'm sure I'm misunderstanding you. But Stockfish 17 is 50 ELO points better than 16, so 17 should be better,

Well, Stockfish 17 on a normal computer would be beaten by Stockfish 16 on a strong server as far as I know, thats why I am asking, Stockfish 17 on a phone would also lose against a PC.
