You mean gaming? If its worth for you spending 600***8364; for proper RAM/CPU/Mobo combination and gaining 1-5fps in games than yes. Oh and you save some watts ofcourse for the environment. It is an interesting platform for sure but if I would still own a good sandybridge I wouldnt upgrade.

Well this is because _Im_ a very confused person. I never said they cheated, I just made them aware of a bug. Its disappointing that they didnt start to investigate what could be wrong. Now we see that those 50Mhz submissions got deleted because _they were_ faulty. This bug has been confirmed and already debugged. I posted in every of my "complains" the link to the bug thread. So to make it even more clear and because I still think that you actually have no clue what we talk about: 1. On motherboard or in the manual there are all possible multiplier settings listed. Except there is no 1.0 multi, so you set the lowest which is 1.5. 2. motherboard starts up showing 75Mhz in post(1.5x50Mhz) 3. CPU-Z starts up saying 1.0x50Mhz, strange... So you dont get curious? You dont check tools like WCPUID or CPUCool? Ok at this point, we still can say those things can happen but after people commented under your score stating that there is probably a bug you still dont react? I really hoped that new CPU-Z is out now because of Windows 10 and Skylake but it seems something hold it back.

Well I just want to say that its very hard to achieve 330Mhz+ on Air with that CPU. It is possible that you just encountered buggy CPU-Z. Maybe you could double check that with WCPUID or CPU-Z with DMI=0 in cpuz.ini.

Any comment from you Mac? Isnt that a + model? If its a non plus, could you please post it in the CPU-Z bug thread?

didnt saw any clock generator doing 150Mhz. But maybe with TurboPLL?

It would be actually cool to have a wprime ranking for the old sockets aswell, especially for those who cant run Cinebench

I have such a cyrix to test but I wont boot with my board. Will have to try out a 5AX sometime... Anyway, even if I can get this to run I probably cant reproduce this. There are possible wpcredit tweaks applied dunno if thats enough to boost this score from 20min+ to 3mins.

Giving the fact that these rams should run 1:1 to bus speed, why do CPU-Z show 0,1 Mhz more RAM speed than Bus speed? Does anyone know?

Its really cool to see that the s370 competition is still going strong. It took many years to get close to those japanese pioneers. From time to time I digg in the archives and its still a blast what they did. Its funny that they had the same problems, finding good ram had top priority as DDR Ram boards were more or less useless. I was going through maybe 5 or 6kg of sdrams. There were lot of microns but all were disappointing, some mtecs but they were even more crap. I found some nice infineon DT-7 sticks which do 180Mhz CL2 and one MDT that can do 185Mhz CL2 but looking at the chips, those MDTs are Infineons as well. So I wonder why the japs never used Infineon... From stermys pic I identified promos sticks so I ordered some from ebay. They were quite good around 180Mhz CL2 512mb module and 184Mhz CL2 256mb, giving the fact that these are basically mosel vitalics and arround 2001 they were crap its actually a wonder that they go that strong, but again its simply not enough these days. Anyway keep it up guys!

So nice... Great result! We are still alive!

CPU-z is our verification system that we trust. It's hard to believe when it's not working the way that it should especially on systems which are that old and worked for years without problems. Now we have the situation that verification isnt working correctly. And thus all verifications made with those versions can be considered worthless because you cant trust them. Sorry but it's simply unfair for future benchers who dont profit from software bugs. It's not the way that I want to sound like a teacher. My english abilitys are bit limited so I really dont want to write essays and explain everything in detail. But I still want to say my opinion. It's never meant personaly. So it's not against you or classicplatforms in general. But just go ahead and keep attacking me.

Sorry but if you dont know what we talk about you should better not comment. I was referring to Romans post where it was about submissions with socket 7 systems and CPU-Z 1.72 and _not_ all subs ever made. There is a bug somewhere introduced around 1.70 where CPU-Z doesnt detect half multipliers on that systems. There is a thread around here where things got confirmed and even debugged yet this new version hasnt released. Because of that its clear that current CPU-Z isnt a reliable verification method on that systems.

New CPU-Z version is work in progress. So you simply have to wait. All results made with old cpu-z should get moderated till new version is out.

hmm this is actually a Cyrix 5x86 which needs to be added to our db btw. Its a very special CPU not pure 80486 anymore. So its questionable if this chip qualifies for the stage.

Excuse me holy excellence how can I dare to ask... All these unwritten rules in the bot...

monthly bump. Things would maybe a slightly touch faster if I got permission to change things in db by myself. Because it takes some time to create those lists. And than it takes time again to bump all those threads. If I remember correctly, it took almost one year to have all those Intel IGP results in db. You actually feel like an idiot cause you are begging and begging for something which is actually meant as an improvement for hwbot.

Any update here? I see first results appearing in db which are probably affected by this bug. And in general for TC it would be nice to have a reliable tool to confirm results.

Hasnt your motherboard just a 1.5 multiplier? Is that speed displayed at boot? I say this because from my experience half multipliers are currently not correctly detected with CPU-Z 1.72. See bug thread

Heavily doubt this result is valid. Should be 3.5 x 83 = 290.5 Mhz... See CPU-Z bug thread

bump on this? Are ES allowed this time? Also bug with Stage 9 -everyone get 50 points...

And so the madness begins...

Nice score but should be a K6-III+. Or has CPU-Z misidentified this?

I doesnt read anyware that ES arent allowed. Is that correct?

To quote myself from some months ago: Neither our hardware db nor CPU-Z is fixed. Seems Massman didnt read...

Should be really easy to implement, basically you need to restrict this to: -Socket 771 and 775 CPUs -maximum of 4 cores If there are people who run multi CPU dualcore xeons these can be manually get removed from competition by a mod. Same goes for people running single CPU on a socket 771 board. Not that they would have a chance anyway to win anything.
