Yes, I'd really like to see a large c++ project compile added to that list of benchmarks.

Here is example of that (compilation benchmarks) for Ryzen 5950X

> For the code compilation speed tests were compiking Apache, PHP, the Linux kernel, ImageMagick, GDB, LLVM, FFmpeg, and MPlayer

Anything trivially parallel like a large C++ scratch build is obviously going to run faster if you have many more cores even if those cores are slower. What I'd specifically like to see is a benchmark of the long pole of most builds: the single-threaded link step.
