I tried UserBenchmark's Benchmark

In this video, I'll be testing the Benchmark from the infamously known Userbenchmark, known for its dubious practices they do. Particularly in regards to AMD. But what about Userbenchmark's Benchmark. How does it do? Will this benchmark be good, even promising enough to be a cromulent benchmark for modern use? (spoiler alert: it only does the bare minimum.)

Userbenchmark is known for its interesting stance with AMD CPUs, not to mention tended to be more favourable to Intel CPUs regardless of performance. Userbenchmark's bias towards Intel CPUs, not to mention creating beef towards known content creators in the PC space like Gamers Nexus has created some critics to Userbenchmark and is known in some spaces as an unreliable space for GPU benchmark rankings, especially for CPU benchmark rankings. Userbenchmark, like with other benchmark websites like 3DMark and Passmark has its own benchmark application that can be used to put scores and rankings of Intel and AMD CPUs onto their website. Userbenchmark's benchmark tests components like the CPU, GPU, RAM and Storage, however it is noted that the benchmarks in Userbenchmark are in the bare minimum in regards to the GPU tests. The Benchmark barely or never tests the capabilities of Ray-Tracing that Nvidia and AMD Graphics Cards have. Not to mention, even score results for CPU benchmarks, even for Intel CPUs, are not going to be accurate as they use Misleading Core Weighing Algorithm that doesn't represent actual performance to an Intel or AMD CPU. Aside from Intel that Userbenchmark favours, Userbenchmark also favours Nvidia over AMD Graphics Cards, presumably from the bias against AMD. Userbenchmark's bias is prominent in the Best category that Userbenchmark has where it only lists Intel for CPUs and Nvidia for GPUs instead of some of the better alternatives from AMD where the offerings from AMD could've taken its place over some, if not all of the picks from Userbenchmark. Userbenchmark is also known to be banned in places that would usually be the home for Userbenchmark like the Intel Subreddit. Userbenchmark were banned from the Intel Subreddit as they were noted for their main accounts to be always creating drama over the debates on Intel and AMD CPUs and don't lead to any value as people put it. Userbenchmark was also banned from the Hardware Subreddit. It is also noted that Userbenchmark doesn't have a known owner on the runner of the Userbenchmark website, not to mention that they don't have names or corporate office, only an unknown CPUPro User that creates CPU and GPU reviews on Intel, AMD and Nvidia's Chipsets for Userbenchmark who was assumed to be the runner for Userbenchmark. Overall, Userbenchmark is an anomaly in the PC Building Space where the people behind Userbenchmark are biased towards Intel and Nvidia, along with having a hatred towards AMD CPU and GPUs and in my opinion, Userbenchmark should be avoided and not be trusted. 3DMark, Unigine and Cinebench does benchmarks better and are the few standard benchmarks. Not to mention Passmark, albeit a synthetic benchmark, does benchmarks better than Userbenchmark. Benchmark.
