Wait, UserBenchmark is not a shitposting meme site? They actually present their reviews as serious?
Everyone in the tech community knows they're a joke. But they still own top spots on Google if you try to find a specific CPU's benchmarks so it's a bit of a problem .
I found them when looking for a gaming laptop to buy. A model that was regarded by everyone to be a solid mid range, with a strong cost to performance ratio and sensible cost reducing compromises, was reviewed by UB as the worst thing ever. Their review was a complete outlier and awfully childish and filled with gratuitous insults and aggressive gamer slang language. I ended up buying that laptop and it's exactly what others claimed, a solid mid performer. I blocked them from my results ever since. I can imagine who their core audience and community is, and it's exactly the kind of place I never want to visit.
