If there are enough interested people, it would be more useful to start a community benchmarking project, with open discussion/feedback to ensure quality and versioning to ensure reproducibility.

It would also be useful if there were Mathematica-specific features included in the Benchmark.

Right now the internal benchmarks entirely target general and universal sorts of operations that can be compared to other softwares - things like matrix multiplication, inversion, and Eigenvalues. But I am a committed Mathematica-lover and haven't even looked at another software package since our marriage back in v.4. And I don't do all that much with matrices either, come to think of it. Hence I am mostly interested in how my old ball-and-chain is improving in the realms of ReplaceAll, Cases, Select, Table, Compile, Module, and general pattern matching. But none of these feature in WolframMark/Benchmark.

Yes, Karl Unterkofler's benchmarking site was very useful, not least because he kept it current with contemporary hardware comparisons (submitted by users).

His Mathematica 8.0 benchmark code still runs in 11.2.

Just to bump up the topic, in a cordial way..., and waiting for eventual proactivity on the centralized and versioning system, here's a benchmark on an AMD Ryzen 7 1700 eight core 3.00 GHz, with Mathematica 11.2.0 (information currently in demand by some curious minds).
