Benchmarks are mostly marketing rather than mathematics or computing science.

@ChaosLord

I didn't accuse you of rigging any benchmarks. I said the cpu benchmarks are inherently biased and their most valid purpose is for promoting a product, an opinion, etc. Not every optimisation matters the same for every cpu architecture, not everything is robust enough to be used as a metric, and not everything is indicative of general-use real -life performance. You can have a set of benchmarks to suggest an approximate trend regarding performance as easy as you can have a newer/different version of the same benchmark that invalidates the previous findings.
