Right so clearly userbenchmark is trash, but where could one, hypothetically, go, to, hypothetically, compare the performance of various cpus, hypothetically?

The phoronix testing site can be alright, if a little haphazard and spotty

Phoronix is excellent in that not only does it document all of the testing procedures, they provide instructions on how to replicate everything, and using the Phoronix Test Suite allows you to replicate all the tests locally.

It's much more comprehensive than most of the other sites.

I don’t mean actual phoronix articles, I mean their user score aggregator thing that is a little hard to understand

Yes, their scoring tool. Which is dead simple to use and explains the rest set up so it can be replicated.
