Many benchmarks fail to capture that if one were programming for speed, intel CPUs seem to be the default option by virtue of the intel compiler, unless you use a HDL [1]. It's quite interesting how hardware manufacturers have been able to capture market share due to their software offerings, see NVIDIA with CUDA for almost any deep learning library.
