I'm not intimately familiar with geekbench and interpreting its scores. But after reading their doc on how the scores are generated and what they are comprised of it appears to be a fair test and representative of real workloads.

That being said, this is an impressive cpu i hope it is indicative of the whole lineup.

I would like to see this kind of battle from Intel and AMD.

Were intel, Not a month ago, telling us all how we should not be looking at synthetic benchmarks? these are not representative of real use cases.
I suppose that now they MIGHT have a legitimate edge they're happy to go back to synthetics. Its like watching a Donald Trump speech as he goes back on everything he said a few months ago and genuinely believe is his own bull

Personally I’ve never really understood the usage of using said benchmark for marketing purposes. Since it’s just numbers and digits at the end of the day. And benchmarks isn’t what the average user is using nor doing on a daily basis.

What is more interesting though is how the fights are between the teams in terms of gaming, since that is what people are actually doing in a real world scenario.

And yes, I’m aware that there’s several different aspects that makes these sort of tests difficult to do.
Yet these would be more useful in the real world than just numbers on a spec sheet.

Since what does this tell me? That Intel has 20K points and AMD does 19K? What does that give nor benefit me in the real world and/or daily usage? Nothing. It’s pointless.

Seeing as they publish what each test is comprised of and how the score is tallied I wouldn't call it pointless. Most of the tests actually pertain to realistic loads. They have just abstracted away specific tests in order to enable a more general comparison between apples and oranges per se.
