Has anyone done the Phoronix suite recently?

I know that the Phoronix suite isn't the best benchmarking suite around, but it's at least an option. I went looking and all I could find were the 2019 results, has anyone done any more recent benchmarks to see how optimized things got in the last 6 years?

I see this old message only right now ...

In fact, one year ago, I wrote this article to state on the different Phoronix articles, aggregating information, that concerned performance of Talos 2 / POWER9:
http://www.powerpc-lab.org/linux/2024/09/28/talos2-performance-evaluated-in-2018-2019.html

Based on that, I also wanted to know what has changed since, if some benchmarks and projects got benefit of the feedback provided initially.

This is why I am preparing another article, but this time more oriented toward my configuration (2x 4-Core). I found a reduced set of x86 machines in the same theoretical range of performance. But they mainly have run old versions of benchmarks. So, I also tried to find the most recent versions that have results for the processors I identified.

At the end, I would like to address some issues, contribute to some projects ... and to various phoronix-test-suite repositories (not sure they receive many changes though).
