From your post I can tell you did not read the "year-old blog post". It starts with the scaling, but goes further and explains a lot. I am a software engineer specializing in algorithms and optimization, Amdahl's law is part of the usual training I give our junior developers. It has nothing to do with Geekbench 6 being a surprisingly bad benchmark, especially for big CPUs.

If you’re in the market for a 96 core cpu and you’re using Geekbench to guide your purchasing decision, the fault lies with you.
