I've been using Userbenchmarks for years its a great tool. People have been complaining forever that no matter what AMD does they never rank high. Look at this blurb they put about the new AMD chips: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/11mr0ce/userbenchmark_isnt_happy_about_the_new_7950/I haven't used an AMD CPU or GPU in years but even so what kind of professional site talks about "Neanderthal" social media accounts? Its a great tool for comparing Intel CPUs against each other but you cannot rely on it to get an honest picture of AMD and they aren't even hiding it.

Who even uses dedicated benchmark programs anymore? I thought that was so year 2000. Heck, shit is so fast these days I don't even overclock anymore...

One thing I find funny is when someone calls someone else a "shill" just for being a fan of some brand or product, like they aren't doing the same thing for some other thing themselves. Whoever wrote that article is definitely an Intel fan who probably calls AMD fans shills too.
I'm always seeing this going on between fans of Epic Store and Steam too.
That being said, I think Intel and AMD are both great brands and people should just use what suits them best.
Did run their benchmark on my system a while back and got a pretty high score, said it was actually performing better than average for comparable configurations. First time I did run it the score was a lot lower but that ended up being an issue caused by having Nvidia Gsync on with the benchmark.

Benchmark utilities can still be useful to reassure yourself that a new build is configured OK, or if some program was stuttering that it's not your system, it's the program.

Even Google seems to be biased for Intel.
If you search "AMD shills" it will show you results until the cows come home, meanwhile if you search "Intel shills" it asks "did you mean Intel skills?"
It's like that AI program that will write a lengthy poem admiring Biden, but then say it can't do it for Trump because that would be political bias.
After seeing this now I am actually kinda glad I switched to team red (AMD), might not go back to Intel ever again.

Whoever wrote that article is definitely an Intel fan who probably calls AMD fans shills too. What put me off about that article was how juvenile and unprofessional it was. Juvenile and unprofessional writing on hardware reviews is a huge turnoff of mine. Back in the early-mid 2000s I used to read HardOCP.com for reviews and news. I started to notice how edgy and immature a lot of their writing was. Then they changed their reviews so instead of testing cards at the same resolution and comparing they would find the settings that worked best on each different card. This was way before 1080p or 4k was the standard. They would refuse to run two different cards at the same resolution making it impossible to do an Apples to Apples comparison. They called this "outsmarting the cheats" but I found it annoying. They would insult anyone who disagreed with this on their incredibly toxic forum. I stopped reading HardOCP and made Anandtech.com my main go too. Far more professional writing style AND they would run two videocards at the same resolution. In 2023 Anandtech is still going strong and HardOCP is a footnote in late 90s/early 2000s PC history. Shockingly enough I find the terrible sounding www.notebookcheck.net/ to be a great resource for up to date news on laptops and general tech.

It isn't just one benchmark like 3dMark, its a huge database of different processors and a great way of comparing various Intel processors, its just too bad the owners have such a hate boner for AMD. Ever since the first Ryzen launched people have been asking why processors which perform so well in the real world rank so low there.
