Take everything WCCFTECH writes with a pinch of salt, all of this could still be fake. The Ryzen hype train is on full steam and i really hope they deliver, but i'll wait for official benchmarks.

In the last few years, more often than not AMD hardware leaks have shown potential that in the end wasn't met. Things look good for Ryzen though, maybe they can finally make 6-8 Core CPUs mainstream.

Which website would you consider "official"? Anandtech?

By "official" I think he meant the benchmarks done by the websites themselves, using proper methodologies. In this article the benchmark was submitted by a user, using synthetic tests from a single application.

this article is based on images some anonymous user posted on chinese forums, so by official i just mean placed like anandtech or techpowerup that do their own benchmarking in a professional environment.

My experience is they actually do deliver promises, yet always too late. It was the case with the 120Mhz 80486, the K6-2, the Athlon, the Opteron, and I'm just getting started. All about as fast as their marketing claimed, but simply too late so the nextgen Intel caught up for the most part.

Uh... did you forget about Bulldozer?

It did bad compare to what their marketing team was telling their users.

The past two or so architecture underperform what the marketing them had in the slides.

Bulldozer and recent GPUs like Fury/X or 3xx/4xx Series underdelivered after initial rumors had them beating everything.
