There's definitely something strange going on. The link
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/singlecore
NOW shows a bunch of what I would consider plausible overclocking scores.

When I hit that same link yesterday, the top score was something like 3600, on what was claimed to be a mac mini...
There were maybe five scores in that vein, before we hit the values that are plausible overclocking.
And of course plenty of those overclockers seem to enjoy claiming that their AMD systems are MacPro's or iMac Pro's...
