  1. Yeah I actually meant that there are two chips with the same name with different specs but only one category can be created in the db for the reason already mentioned here. This results in the fact that some specs of this entry are always wrong. See that 35W vs 59W issue. So better just to list the common ones (IMO)

     Ideally we could create an entry for both in the db, but later have a unified ranking. Maybe something for the devs (would help with the rebranded stuff a LOT,  also de-uglyfy some category names).

     

     

     

  2. There is an official product site which also states z3700 Series:
    https://ark.intel.com/content/www/de/de/ark/products/81071/intel-celeron-processor-n2830-1m-cache-up-to-2-41-ghz.html

    But I never encountered this product name before. And the last GPU-Z screenshots Ive seen named it "HD Graphics". So do you have any screenshots of programs showing you something else?

    As you already said https://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/hd_graphics_mobile_bay_trail/ is the correct category.

    ZenStates for Linux, now with a GUI. I've forked an old repo, updated it and added a GUI. Python-based.

    There's also a new version of the SMUDebugTool, which adds OC frequency (all cores or a chosen single core) controls and MSR read/write/scan.

    Wow, that's very unique someone creates linux tools. Gonna try this out in some weeks once I build my new system.

    thanks !

    can u add , please, huawei mate 20 pro ? as device, I can't enter hardware manually.

    not sure what is not right

    https://hwbot.org/submission/4336839_

    my score should be 24th on arm ? is everything ok?

    https://hwbot.org/benchmark/geekbench3_-_multi_core/rankings?cores=4#start=20#interval=20

    many thanks !

     

    I did a mistake configuring your SoC only as single core, instead of octa. That's now fixed.

    But thats just one part of the story. The other problem is, that mobile stuff isnt maintained anymore. There are many bugs and no one is fixing those for years. Maybe things get better in the future, but for now I dont waste time on this. And thats also the reason I dont add devices anymore.

    Think of launching 2 or 3 instances of CPUZ could crash the rig too. not sure if it is a great idea to automate that. Also Matt would like to get rid of CPUZ tabs in general, I'm not in favour of that, with them it still makes comparison easier to see the settings

    I just thinking of making it as user friendly as possible. So the question stands, is CPU-Z still needed for a valid submission? Benchmate benchmarks have no rules on the page. 

    If required, make the user aware of it. Either by automation or with a message box. 

    In most situations, it's not needed to be "super cautious" about crashes. So the automation would be nice. Why not let user simply deactivate that behavior in the options?

    In this regard, it would be nice to let the user edit options of CPU-Z.ini in benchmate.

  6. I've just used benchmate for the first time (yeah kinda late) and I'm pretty much amazed of it. Makes things so easier!

    Just some small things:

    1. Isn't still CPU-Z needed for proper verification screen?
    I might missed the discussion, and I'm sorry if I was decided to not being necessary anymore and I don't know about it, but if its sill needed, do we can launch CPU-Z main & mem tab automatically if the user press "save result"? Right now your system information comes from HWinfo, right? The bot actually relied since the beginning on CPU and GPU-Z and still would find it useful to include them.

    2. Make Status "Action needed" a little bit more user friendly
    At first time I didn't instantly know what to do here now. Turns out I need to right click the result and select "View it on HWbot". I was actually a little surprised that it showed me the submit form and claimed that it wasn't able to find the correct CPU.
    Maybe we could make this a little more intuitive, like opening the browser automatically, so the user can see whats wrong right away. The problem of unmatched hardware will unfortunately stay, especially for user with new hardware, so this will be a thing for many users.
    Some background (you probably already know this); there are hardware database entries, which I or someone else usually add to our database and there are name strings coming from external programs like yours communicating to hwbot. Because there was some serious problems with hwbot prime, automatic matching strings and db entries got deactivated. But now the problem is, that we need to do this manually. Unfortunately, I guess no one touched this for over one year and now we have over 900 unmatched CPUs, 250 GPUs, 7000 motherboards and almost 10k mobile phones or other small devices. I'm currently in the process of adding a lot new stuff to db but as always time is the limiting factor.

    3. CPU affinity for selected cores
    You can set either to one core of your choice or all cores. But it would be neat to make it possible to select 2 cores of 4 for instance.

    4. Screenshots
    Especially on old systems, jpg is sometimes too much for a system running on the edge. I've seen it more than enough that a system finished SuperPi but failed to save the screenshot. I mean you could bench, downclock to safe values and try again but maybe you could give the user a choice to configure that? Something like an ultra low resource mode. ;)

    Overall I'm extremely happy with what you created and looking forward that this will be our one and only tool for submitting subs to the bot. I probably need to test this with old systems, btw. does this tool work with Win2000 or 98 ? If so, could you integrate that new oldschool CPU-Z?
