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.
Unfortunately the subscription appears to be for their benchmarking tool only, not for website access.
Aren’t these the people that straight up manipulated data to make AMD look worse than Intel or something wild?
Yeah that’s the guy. Hilarious to see he thinks his garbage biased opinion is worth any amount of money.
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?
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
Go watch tech channels on YT
Having to sift through who knows how many videos to get information that could be a graphic with numbers? Yeah, no, thanks.
I find this site useful, it’s part of Passmark - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
YouTube has a search function you know
Just search GN channel for the part you want to buy
It’s much better than a narrow benchmark like PassMark and they show actual real world performance
What’s a good site to compare cpus and gpus?
PassMark. The have cpubenchmark.net and videocardbenchmark.net
The fee is only for their benchmarking software, whose results get uploaded to the website.
only a limited unspecified number of users can test for free at any one time, and if no slots are open, then only subscribers to the $10-per-year Pro plan can test
When there are free slots, users will have to complete a 3D captcha minigame where the goal is to shoot down 13 ships. The minigame isn’t particularly difficult on the surface, but it can get very tedious as there are very few opportunities for users to actually shoot down any ships. We attempted to complete the captcha ourselves but gave up after a few minutes
It’s crazy I had to scroll down this far to see a comment from someone that actually read the article.
You guys read the articles? I just read the comments. Scrolling to here I’ve learned that:
- The founder of userbenchmark apparently started the site to allegedly manipulate stocks. Specifically Intel and AMD stocks.
- There’s other sites than my goto sites from passmark.
- Some lemmings actually read the articles abd
- The website isn’t really getting paywalled.
lemmings
Look again 😏
Is anyone else bothered that the URL of this article turns the $ into the word “pound”?
