People still use userbenchmark? XD
It is a better UI for data conglomeration for all parts of the system then passmark or any of the other generic compare x vs y part websites out there that always come up in the first 5 results on Google. Yes the grading/ranking system can be somewhat arbitrary (Imparting much more worth to single thread than some think it deserves) but as long as you go into it knowing you shouldn't necessarily compare AMD vs Intel (I think GPU is more fair), its still a great resource and its testing tool is light weight. I particularly like how it compares SSD and the multiple metrics it gives at your fingertips.
Crazy homerism aside, I still like the site and find it extremely useful when spot checking parts I don't have direct experience with.

Maybe, but it was proved over and over and over how the owner of that site has blatant favoritism for Intel.
Even to the point of changing their metrics when AMD gave Intel a resounding paddling in almost all fronts.
So it does not matter if they have "multiple metrics" if they are biased as hell.

Its still a useful tool for comparison regardless of how abhorrent the owner/founder is. Especially because most leaks seem to be using the ubiquitous userbenchmark tool, the download weighs in at 510KB and auto test everything and uploads without even a request... unlike passmark which weighs in at 65MB and makes you confirm you want to upload at the end.

its easy enough to remove the bias, just compare AMD to AMD, or Intel to Intel. I don't notice the bias bleeding to other metrics like GPU or storage.
