After the recent changes with UserBenchmarks where they seem to bias Intel ratings against AMD, I'm looking for reliable alternatives to compare different PC components. UserBenchmarks was super convenient for me, but now I'm in need of unbiased sites. What websites do you recommend for easily comparing various parts?

You might want to check out third-party benchmarks like GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed. Tom's Hardware and Techpowerup are also solid choices for comparisons. They tend to provide a more balanced view without the bias that UserBenchmarks has shown lately.
While GeekBench is more productivity-oriented, it’s really useful for results comparison. You can run your own benchmarks and compare them with others to see if a certain platform is worth upgrading to. Plus, if you register, you can save your benchmarks indefinitely for future reference, which is super handy when analyzing past upgrades.
Awesome, I didn’t know GeekBench had that feature!
There are plenty of independent benchmarking sites out there. GamersNexus, Techpowerup, Techspot, and Puget Systems are all good. Using multiple sources will give you a clearer picture of component performance and help spot any inconsistencies that might come from a single site.
Great tip! I'll try to use different sources for better insights.
Thanks for this! I'll definitely add those to my list.
