So the entire benchmark scheme is worthless?

Well it depends on how you define worthless. For you as an individual to ascertain truth, it may be useless. To build up a bloated AI Enterprise stock value. For false consensus narrative scripting. Very valuable.

Benchmarks have been close to worthless since Nvidia cheated 3DMark benchmarks by adding benchmark detecting code to their drivers in the early 2000s [1].

It’s essentially worthless for you, as a consumer of them. The best way to see which one works best is to give a bunch of them a try for your specific use case
