Have you guys seen the changes UserBenchmark have made to their CPU scores? It puts an i3-8350K ahead of TR

UserBenchmark now putting multi-core performance as 2% of the CPU score really reinforces how detached that benchmark is, they may as well not bother testing multi-core performance at all.

They're trying to reiterate the old edict that "quad core is all you'll ever need", yet it's proven that no it isn't. Honestly, I'm done with synthetic benchmarks as a whole; I'd sooner see performance numbers from real world applications so you know performance in whatever application of the hardware.
