Very interesting observations!
I think for a realistic CPU performance assessment though, you need something that exercises a single core only (like the venerable SuperPI), as most software today is still single core primarily.
IOW even if 285HX outperforms 9955HX3D when all cores are maxed out for an hour at least (which isn't a given and should be tested for explicitly), this wouldn't automatically guarantee the highest real world performance; especially if the latter bests the former when used with fewer cores that more accurately match typical software CPU utilization patterns.
That's why I like the Pre-Compiled Runtimes Tool, as it blends both the most extreme and the most typical usage patterns into a single number in a neatly packaged, summarily executed tool - everything except the GPU, of course - seeing as both HDD/SSD and RAM performance are factored in.
Although I suppose this tool requires the most inordinate amount of RAM that's not typically required in daily usage amongst all the other benchmarks out there; and this would be its main weakness IMHO, with all due respect to its manufacturers/publishers.
