https://wccftech.com/userbenchmark-updates-cpu-ranking-by-lowering-multi-core-importance-and-raising-single-core/ > UserBenchmark may not be a favorite amongst enthusiasts but it is a very heavily used benchmarking tool.  Just drop in any forum or Facebook group for PC gaming and you’ll find people tossing out their scores.  I actually did a run yesterday myself out of curiosity as a few people in a local gaming group were sharing their results. Then I was looking into what it was actually testing as a friend tossed me a link to a Reddit post discussing a recent update to the CPU ranking algorithm which sounded like a good idea.  After all their old algorithm (archive link) used the Core i7-7700K as the leader and things have changed a fair bit with the release of high clocked high core count chips for Intel like the Core i9-9900K and with the latest release of the Ryzen 9 3900X you would think their new algorithm would take into account the rise of core counts in mainstream CPUs. New weighted rank here. > Related Tesla Q2 Earnings – Record Shipments Yet Still Not Profitable, Stock Plummets
