On EEMBC CoreMark. But CoreMark is not a meaningful benchmark outside of embedded devices.
From your linked article: "CoreMark focuses solely on the core pipeline functions of a CPU, including basic read/write, integer, and control operations. This specifically avoids most effects of system differences in memory, I/O, and so forth."
Memory & I/O are integral to CPU design, which is why AMD's own marketing material emphasizes it so much.
