I believe that some of the YouTube channels have started including compilation benchmarks. GamersNexus [1] and Linus Tech Tips [2] both do!

In addition, Level1Techs is more developer/sysadmin oriented than consumer oriented : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4w1YQAJMWOz4qtxinq55LQ
And in addition to that, we have Open benchmarking and Phoronix for that. :)
Likewise (I 2nd L1Techs btw). Having 16 cores/ 32 threads will greatly aid testing server applications. Making multi-threading & locking issues much more apparent (Amdahl's law) than they would on a slightly older CPU with only 4-6 cores (a i7 6700k in my case).
Normally we at AnandTech run a Chrome compile benchmark, but for whatever reason it wasn't running properly on Win 10 1909. When I get a chance to debug (55k miles of travel over the next four weeks), I'm going to see if I can fix it and expand that bit of our testing.
"Failed to compile Chrome" is a pretty huge caveat in which, I guess, your readers might take an interest.
Chrome has its own Windows builders as well on each platform.
Note that the GamerNexus review of the 3950x didn't include their compile benchmark test, at least on Youtube.
