This is a net win. Now they won’t be recommended to everyone trying to do hardware comparisons. The bias in their results has pretty much made them worthless as a source since Ryzen released.
Aren’t these the people that straight up manipulated data to make AMD look worse than Intel or something wild?
Yup. They’ve always done it, both on the CPU and GPU side, but especially on the CPU side.
Aren’t these the same guys that have a stick up their ass about AMD and/or they get paid by Intel to be biased?
I know the admins have unquestionable integrity (they certainly pretend as much) so surely they are going to retroactively pay every user who contributed their benchmarks for free. Right? When should I expect my first royalty check?
Oh no! I won’t be able to see crappy biased comparisons and benchmarks…
That don’t actually work. My system can tell what memory I have, but you can’t? Fuck that website
My system can tell what memory I have, but you can’t?
Wait, I’m confused about this. Are you upset the site can’t tell what RAM you have. Because I’m pretty certain there is no way a site could tell that.
You give it permissions to scan. It can tell what processor, MB, and GPU I have. But not memory? Or can’t clock the speed? It’s a crap matrix to measure your computer’s performance and useless. It’s just an elitist score board. A working rig is good enough. We all want the next big thing.
I mean it just depends what the browser reports https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/deviceMemory
And nothing of value was lost…
Of all the things to try and monetize with a subscription…
Who’s more brain damaged, the site owner or the people that actually pay for it?
Yes.
$10 for falsified informatiom?
10 dollars a month to be told AMD is behind its competition based on vibes
YAY FREE ADVERTISEMENT LETS GO LOSERBENCHMARK!!!11111
In all seriousness, these guys are ONLY the top google result because of all the “controversy.” They do it for a reason. Every time i’ve seen a thread talking about them i’ve literally downvoted it because the only way to stop the cycle is to just let them die a slow death which as far as I can tell is never going to happen. Their business model is better than anybody talking about them, posting about them, or generating ad revenue from making articles about them. We’re the clowns.
No. Wait. Stop.
Uh, I used it two times in the past, am shocked reading the replies here lol, where can I compare two cpus then?
Go watch tech channels on YT, there are many great channels. Gamer’s Nexus also has a website (completely ad free too) that has all of their benchmark results.
Also, Phoronix although it is Unix centric
That was the only reason to use the site lol other paid options are way better. All userbenchmarks was good for was giving you a rough idea that your hardware was performing as it was expected to.
It was kind of shitty but it was also useful for making sure that you didn’t have some sort of configuration error that was negatively affecting performance. I’m sure they’ll be replaced by something else though.
