Oh, I didn’t know that…
Thank you for let me know 
I’m super happy that somebody does benchmarks. Good work phoronix. But I feel these test are mostly useless.
Who runs a 96 core CPU as a daily driver? There’s a huge bunch of scientific or server applications which are not super relevant for most people here.
How about a two year old mid-range desktop/laptop playing a youtube video with some simulated web surfing. Any difference in temperature or battery life? That would be interesting.
And then there are the details. Let’s take SVT-AV1: It has a heavy optimized v3 path which is always triggered, you don’t need to compile with v3. The v4 path on the other hand requires a build flag that isn’t set on the Arch package. Essentially every difference in the SVT-AV1 benchmark is benchmark hallucination.
