So how can you believe anything on that site?
I'll give you a couple of quotes from their editorial.
An RTX 2060S these days is a low end GPU, and this is under the 5600X section.
Translation "Don't look at Independent reviewers, they are all fake, only our benchmarking software is accurate."
Like I posted above I look at the real scores.
22-27% faster not the 4% overall.
If you know how to use the site you can use it to buy the better value for money parts by comparing them directly.
It's likely why I've never had an issue using the site.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-9600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600X/4031vs4041
Using the above as an example they rate this as one of the best value for money CPUs for my budget.
I'm comparing it with my current CPU the 3600x.
It's neck and neck at single core and dual core. At quad core the intel is 7% faster but at octa core the AMD is 9% faster.
So in my book they are pretty much even because intel is 7% faster when using 4 cores and AMD 9% faster when using 8 cores. In my head I see that as even with a slight bias towards AMD for future proofing.
However the site says that the intel is the 23rd fastest CPU and the AMD the 69th.
I ignore that completely. I only look at the relevant scores when comparing.
As for the filters I tend to currently only buy AMD CPU and Nvidia gpu.
I base those decisions on other research. The site therefore still holds good for me. I only look at the relevant information I deem to be worthy I just ignore all the crap on it and focus on the benchmark numbers that matter.
