To clarify, Cinebench correlates poorly with gaming, office software, web browsing, and video editing. Those are what the vast majority of people buying laptops will use it for.

For people that code, it also correlates poorly with parallel code compilation.

Anandtech benchmark puts Intel 12900K on top for both RISCV toolchain compilation and Cinebench.

12900K is the fastest x86 DIY CPU available. It'll be tops in nearly all benchmarks and applications.

You can say the same about gaming. It's tops in Cinebench and most games. Therefore Cinebench and gaming must have a high correlation? No.

Thanks for your input, this isn't said enough. So many CPU benchmarks aren't effective at evaluating the general use case and yet are held up as this golden standard

It's because Cinebench was disproportionately favoring the Zen architecture so AMD pushed it in marketing.
