I am not sure if most of you are familiar with user benchmark. It's one of the most popular sites for CPU comparisons and will come first in Google search with keywords such as "Ryzen 3600 vs Intel 9600KF". However, this is one of the most misleading sites I've ever came across to. If you go on their about page, they say:
"Marketers make it tough to choose hardware. A corporate army of fake forum and reddit accounts spread hype and disinformation to drive sales. Incompetent (moar core) smearers would sell ice to Elsa."
:SMH: They're somehow against the idea of CPU makers selling more cores to the average consumers, with its obvious benefits being more and more proven by sites such as this site, AnandTech, and many more. They even consider the TR 3970X to have the same "effective speed" as the 9600KF! Oh dear.
Whatever the reason of this madness is, I won't judge. But, we as enthusiasts must not let this happen, right? Should we start a campaign against this misinformation the way we campaign to never use cheapo PSUs? What are your thoughts?
