"Benchmarks, while inherently contentious and not always representative of real-world performance, are an important tool in any kind of quantitative evaluation. That’s why nerds are obsessed with them. And not just nerds: companies use third-party benchmark results to make decisions on millions, sometimes billions of dollars in investment. So when someone finds evidence of a company putting its figurative thumb on the scale, it has the potential for big ramifications. Such is the case with some recent, and very specific, Intel Xeon CPU benchmarks."
