They're completely worthless, and always have been. There are about a dozen people in the whole world who's numbers are worth much of anything for benchmarking.

Obviously if someone says "my CPU overheated with X" or "temps went down with Y" there is some value to those statements, however they're actual numbers are virtually useless.
