Features
UserBenchmark is a website which offers a benchmarking program to run on the user's PC and then allows them to upload the results on the website. The website provides performance comparisons for CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, HDDs, RAM, and USB drives.[1]
As UserBenchmark allows users to upload their hardware score results to the website, it makes it a source of unreleased hardware leaks. For example, Intel's engineering samples have been created with the designation of Intel 0000 and are being differentiated based on their configurations of CPU cores and threads.[2]
In 2024, UserBenchmark offered a $10 per year fee to allow usage of the program during periods of high use. Alternatively, a subset of people can make use of free open testing slots. To test with the open free slots, non-subscribers must finish "a 3D captcha minigame" with the objective of shooting 13 ships to the ground.[1]
Controversies
UserBenchmark has been accused of bias against AMD[3] notably over its review of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.[4][5][6]
In July 2019, UserBenchmark updated how it calculates the effective speed index[7] on its website's CPU hardware rankings, which resulted in Intel's i9-9900K CPU taking the top rank from AMD's higher core-count Threadripper processors.[8] Some hardware enthusiast boards later banned links to the UserBenchmark website.[9]
