Despite all the effort, benchrmak results are still not consistent. The other day I wanted to check how Ryzen 7600 compares to i13600k in code compilation. Ratio in time between these 2 processors reported by different authors were wildly different:
LTT: 129%
GN: 160%
Techpowerup: 105%
With results fluctuating up to 2 generational differences it is hard to make sense, despite all the authors effort. This leaves that kind of content more of entertainment rather than informational and from that perspective low effort doesn't bother me.
Presumably "compilation" is such a broad basket of activities that they each use a different workload. Have you looked at phoronix? They tend to cover that niche a little better, and will potentially have numerous compilation benchmarks.
I find it ironical that Phoronix used to be considered a rather bad reviewer like a decade ago (just Google around!), while nowadays it is probably one of the best. I mean, Phoronix has definitely improved, but not that much.
e.g. they used to be considered clickbaity, but for today's standards you might as well call them "mild".
