> What makes PassMark a representative CPU benchmark? Sadly nothing. PassMark is infamous for being not representative, and you can easily check that by looking at the position of the FX processors, which are rated way too high. I run a pc hardware builder with a recommender function at its core, which means that the real core is the meta benchmark powering the recommender. It works by taking professional reviews of real life workloads, and I think it is a lot more realistic, though absolute ordering is of course not that easy. I recently made the benchmark results visible, there is one for games: https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/games/cpu https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/games/cpu and one for applications: https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/apps/cpu https://www.pc-kombo.com/benchmark/apps/cpu . Threadripper is in there and the big model leads the app benchmark, but I still need to add more benchmarks with the threadripper processors to make the result more certain. At the beginning I even started with the passmark results, but had to move to better data when user complained the results were not good. They were right.
