Onto the next big one, Country Cup will be scheduled for October 16th till 20th of December 2023 NO RAPTOR LAKE REFRESH!!! The HWBOT Country Cup 2023 allows only single CPU socket retail motherboards and single GPU retail Videocard submissions (unless specifically stated otherwise). No Laptop or other mobile devices, desktop hardware only! Please ensure that the verification screenshot includes the competition background, on top of the standard HWBOT rules, a CPU-Z Motherboard tab is required. Plz check out the Standard and specific Country Cup 2023 Rules laid down per stage before submitting! SOFTWARE: CPU-Z version 2.0.8 or newer GPU-Z version 2.55.0 or newer BenchMate version 10.12.2 or newer

My initial idea was to add newer benches like 5,10 and 25B only for the newer version and maintain 25m & 1B exclusively for the older version. 2.5B and 10B would be supported on both the old and newer versions So at least the huge 1B database would remain untouched. I'm fully with TASOS to maintain and cherish the records/scores we have. FYI HWBOT can make the distinction in benchmark version but it has to be added in the datafile which version was used, however in the end it would still require 2 different rankings if any distinction has to be made for boints, ... . @fasttrack well you can say we have a lot of active benchers but they mostly never chime in on any topic. Typically IF they would, it would be way later criticizing why this decision was ever made. We stick to what the majority wanted, address them, not HWBOT as we proposed another split but got bashed quite hard. Let us analyze how it turns out. If it turns out as a giant clusterfuck, it will not be repeated (at least not on my watch)

It is Intel XTU that detects your CPU as an engineering sample, not much HWBOT can do about it as this is also stored in the datafile that XTU sends to us

Correct and they will be sadly in the corner as a result of this poll

Hypers, PSC, BBSE,...

a little bit more for gold bro

Nice one!!

10 years later, gooooooold

its a done deal.... majority pickd one benchmark... be ready to rebench... everything

Don't forget the 2 x CPUZ tabs, one for CPU and one for memory plz. Check out the rules at: https://hwbot.org/benchmarkRules

CPU is a total turd, above 4600MHz is no go, Below 8°c no boot. Only likes 1800 and 2000 NB multi, eg 1900 hardly ever boots Whichever engineer made this gen should be sacked... such a pain to bench

Yes I asked Tim to allow users to edit the chipset of the motherboard. Now when you use previous sub it prefills the chipset, so you might not be able to make the right motherboard selection

gone

done

Solid work, go go top 3

open 2 instances of CPU-Z, CPU tab automatically opens, memory tab you have to select manually

Will be removed for now. No new version with an ongoing competition and the release will be announced at the front-page when we allow subs for the faster version

Beta benchmark, if you find out any bugs, shortcomings plz let us know

Why no cascade...

XTU 2.0 is from 8th gen on, so there's no way to upload any score with your 7700K, Neither can you save the score and export the profile, this to submit manually that datafile. This was not HWBot's decision but a limitation from Intel A new overhauled XTU version is in the pipeline, I'll check CPU support.
