Userbenchmark isn't without utility, but it should be noted that they've just recently rebalanced their cpu performance reporting in a really silly way, basically massively understating the performance of >4 core cpus by making cores above the 4th 2% of the weight of the score, so by their current metrics an i3 can be preferable to a like, 28 core xeon... Which... Just no.
