    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?

    Right so clearly userbenchmark is trash, but where could one, hypothetically, go, to, hypothetically, compare the performance of various cpus, hypothetically?

      That don’t actually work. My system can tell what memory I have, but you can’t? Fuck that website

        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.

    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?

    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.
