Just in case you did not pick it up, Benchmarks were only important when AMD was winning them, Now that Intel is cleaning up they don't really matter. There is hope that if deneb performs well they could become important again.

I also very much look forward to the day when benchmarks matter once more.

Especially benchmarks which are verifiable, as opposed to subjective benchmarks like "smoothness".
