Well said.

Amplifying ...

ALL benchmarks are at best hints of reality, since they're ALL
over-simplifications.

It takes an actual workload simulation to properly "benchmark" a
balanced system design (like IBM Power "Series P") in comparison to
"systems" where each subsystem was tuned to a simplistic benchmark.
