Disregard Userbenchmark. Focus on performance that meets your needs in games and apps.
Notice the slight second bump in the curve to the right of the first one. That's a result of users overclocking, which is commonly done when running the UserBenchmark suite, because people like to see how awesome they are compared to other people. So if you aren't running PBO or overclocking, your result is going to look worse relative to those users. It's one of the pitfalls of using UserBenchmark - they lump OC and non-OC results together without a way to separate out the data. Here's a great example of a chip where it is plain as day that there are two separate curves for OC vs non-OC, yet it's all grouped together: Xeon X5660 Yes, they technically have OC and non-OC results for individual parts, but without any sort of transparency to know how they determine when a result is OC or non-OC, such a distinction is meaningless, because you, as a user, have no way of knowing what the numbers actually mean. If you really want to benchmark your chip, I'd run something more consistent, like Cinebench, and compare online against that.
