Such articles are very interesting for many people, because nowadays all CPU vendors are under-documenting their products.
Most people do not have enough time or knowledge (or money to buy CPU samples that may prove to be not useful) to run extensive sets of benchmarks to discover how the CPUs really work, so they appreciate when others do this and publish their results.
Besides learning useful details about the strengths and weaknesses of the latest Intel big core, which may help in the optimization of a program or in assessing the suitability of an Intel CPU for a certain application, there is not much to comment about it.
122 points and no comments? Is this being botted or something?

Could be. Usually it means the subject is too advanced for the average HN user yet something that they are interested in.
I mean what is there to comment. Intel botched another product release. It is just a sad state of affairs.
How so?
Not that I disbelieve, I just wasn't especially picking that up from the article.
