The problem is, in practice, despite nonspecific marketing language, people do use the multicore benchmark to measure multicore performance. Including for things like Threadripper, which is not exactly an exotic science project CPU or non-personal or non-desktop.

Geekbench 6 is a bad test to use to assess the suitability of a 96-core Threadripper for the kinds of use cases where buying a 96-core Threadripper might make sense. But Geekbench 6 does a very good job of illustrating the point that buying a 96-core Threadripper would be a stupid waste of money for a personal desktop and the typical use cases of a personal desktop.
