I think in Canada lobbying is much more limited, so it's probably not due to democracy that we get lobbying.

Yup, this thing is basically useless. I just did /goal optimize the cuda kernel, and ai agent just proposed and tested a bunch of ideas by itself, and it profiled them using nsight ncu etc. by itself, which lead to one order of magnitude faster kernel.

You can use geekbench 5 in that case. But given that they deprecated that, it might be harder to compare to others.

I agree. For me personally I mostly only care about single thread geekbench variant, I believe it's an excellent proxy for general performance of a CPU. Multi thread geekbench (or other benchmarks) for most purposes and for most people, it's kinda useless. You just need to know that you have a quite a few cores on your computer and that it will have enough concurrency for what you do. But single thread will make whatever you do actually faster.
