I appreciate the links. But it's tough to believe stats uploaded by random users, especially when we're only talking a few percent difference. Not to mention, if you sort by "avg bench %", apparently WD released an NVMe drive that's faster than Intel Optane. You'd think that would have made the news.
fwiw the best motherboard comparison I found was on overclock.net[1]. It didn't list everything I cared about, but it was a great starting point

Individual benchmarks uploaded by random users would be hard to trust yes, but UserBenchmark collects thousands. If you click through to the page for a given product it'll even show you a distribution graph of the collected scores from different real-world machines.

"Faster" is a matter of opinion; it depends on what you're optimizing for. Optane obviously has faster random reads, but it's not so great at sequential writes. The UserBenchmark score tries to take all of that into account: https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-905P-Optane-NVMe...
