I don't get this insistent desire to pounce with accusations of "click-bating" and other disparaging remarks every time some one posts something others don't want to read.
Who's the fool? The one that leads or those who follow? I think qubit's subject title was right on point - making it clear it was a "leaked" benchmark. He even went further to say in his opening comment to take it with a pinch of salt.
I say if you don't want to read it, stop being suckered in by taking the bait! Don't join the debate, don't denigrate the thread, the OP, or even the source. NO SITE is 100% on point 100% of the time - not even TPU.
That said, WCCFTech did not create an editorial with their personal opinions. They were reporting the news they found on Blenchmark.com. But immediately those who dislike WCCFTech pounced because they don't like WCCFTech. That's silly. WCCFTech didn't make that story up, I doubt Blenchmark.com did either.
If you have a problem with my posting, feel free to report it and let the staff handle it as they see fit.
So says the one with the first accusation of click bating.
Thanks at least for pointing out "the important parts"
which I note where presented by the folks at WCCFTech - a site quickly slammed as "garbage".
Yet I point out WCCFTech immediately cited their source of this information (Blenchmark.com via a reddit.com poster) - a
creditable action so often lacking by much of today's IT press. Note too WCCFTech expressed their own valid criticisms by quickly pointing out among others things, the processor in the "leak" has no identifying information along with it.
IMO, the best reply thus far in this thread was by someone I don't always agree with,
I'll wait until we at least find out what cpu this was lol. Everyone getting upset over this and you don't even know if it is a basic 8 core or 32 thread giant.
Technical debates can still be heated while sticking to the "technical" points without the need for personal affronts - and in the process, remain informative.
oh lawd, what kind of graph doesnt show the resolution of the grid
Ummm, what specifically are you looking for? I note the "interactive" graph at the source, Blenchmark.com clearly points out (1) the graph indicates Render Time (in seconds), (2) the fastest time is 17 seconds, and (3) the graph goes from 0 to 2000 seconds and finally, (4) if you hover over the blue bar for this AMD Engineering Sample, it shows a render time of 69 seconds.
