[Redundancy of CPU-Z]

Agreed.

Just a few things to consider:

• does BenchMate work with legacy systems? (talking WinXP and much older)
• does BenchMate require external dependencies that might hurt performance?
• does BenchMate cause a higher CPU load than CPU-Z? (opening the latter can sometimes be harder than passing Spi 32M)

[A new way to address CPUs (Cores/Threads) on HWBot]

Now that mainstream CPUs from both sides get 16 cores, wouldn't it be the right time to ask ourselves if we actually need to split CPU globals per number of cores?

Back when the split was introduced, there were maximum three relevant classes (1,2,4) with a HUGE difference in between. But these days you have at least fourteen (1/2/3/4/5/6/8/10/12/14/16/18/24/32) and it doesn't look like it's going to get any simpler with all the 'exciting' ways that manufacturers can customise their CPU layouts.

It's starting to get very similar to situation with GPU rankings:

• CPUs have 2/3-digit core count, GPUs have 2/3-digit ROP count
• Given core count can be achieved by 1 or 2 cpus (or even core types), given ROP count can be achieved by 1 or 2 cards
• It's very rare that nVidia and AMD release graphic cards with the same ROP count (or even at the same price point) to avoid direct comparisons, Intel/AMD will likely eventually get there too

...and I don't see anyone discussing splitting GPU ranks per ROP count "to give guys with GTX3060 a chance and make it more affordable"

[(FS) G.Skill top bins]

352 GB of RAM in one thread. Is that a new record?

[TaPaKaH - Core 2 E8400 (3.0Ghz) @ 6253MHz - 7sec 203ms SuperPi - 1M]

With recent developments in P45 FSB, it's only a matter of time before sub 7s gets done.

[Gigelz - Celeron D 352 @ 7457.8MHz - 7457.77 mhz CPU Frequency]

Very weak score. Should do much better ones with LN2 and your hoard.

[Noxinite - Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 6593.3MHz - 6593.31 mhz CPU Frequency]

pi golds when?

[Noxinite - GA-EP45T-Extreme @ 731.9MHz - 731.87 MHz Reference Frequency]

Do Xeons have x6.5 multi actually working?

[Luumi - Core 2 Extreme QX9750 @ 4700MHz - 9min 37sec 235ms SuperPi - 32M]

So you also bought this one as well? :)

[about P45 chipset memory div 3:5 bug]

@wytiwx So, setting #2 is actually 750MHz / DDR3-1500 mem speed, which falls perfectly in line with the DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 results you've posted

[TAGG - Pentium E2200 @ 5169MHz - 9min 39sec 765ms SuperPi - 32M]

fastest Allendale 32M ever, hell yeah!

E8600 when?

[TerraRaptor - Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 4797MHz - 10sec 453ms SuperPi - 1M]

This is actually quite a bad CPU. Most '2007 G0 chips will do 550+ FSB on LN2.

[TAGG - Pentium E5200 @ 6065MHz - 12sec 293ms wPrime - 32m]

Beating my scores is becoming quite a theme recently, eh? :D

[ground - Rampage II Extreme @ 300.3MHz - 300.29 MHz Reference Frequency]

not until 320+ BCLK by wytiwx

One more SetFSB step and you're there

[Collector value of ddr3/other kits?]

Please don't follow the urge to collect memory kits. Collectors are the plague of the benching community. Items made in low volumes are hard to find as they are, and people who let them fall apart in their drawers to satisfy their ego aren't exactly helping.

[Luumi - Core i7 930 @ 5370MHz - 4sec 453ms wPrime - 32m]

I think you forgot the screenshot.

[Luumi - Core i7 930 @ 5270MHz - 6min 46sec 782ms SuperPi - 32M]

Almost.

[TerraRaptor - Celeron 566Mhz @ 1710.4MHz - 1710.38 mhz CPU Frequency]

200% OC the hard(er) way. Was considering doing this back in 2008-2010 but never got around to it. Awesome job!

[Luumi - Core i7 3770K @ 7130MHz - 4min 36sec 500ms SuperPi - 32M]

You could get 3500 EUR for this CPU back in the day :)

[unityofsaints - Phenom II X3 720 BE @ 5967MHz - 12min 4sec 110ms SuperPi - 32M]

Sandbags = heavy

[DDR3 Patriot Sector 5 2133C9 - Elpida or PSC ?]

Yes, 2500C9 are X-PSC only.

These are usually not tragic, but also not as good as you might expect from second highest retail 2GB PSC bin.

[DDR3 Patriot Sector 5 2133C9 - Elpida or PSC ?]

If that's a 9-11-9 kit then it's built from whatever garbage they had laying around at that time.

Most likely T-series PSC.
Might also be X-series PSC or Hynix 2Gbit BFR, but not very likely.
If Patriot were really high on cocaine, they might have even used Elpida 2Gbit BCSE.
Virtually no chance for Hypers or BBSE.

So the worlds fastest quadcore is some crappy hp box, got it

Could be worse, could be a Ryzen 5400U-based laptop

[OGS - Core i9 11900KF @ 7044MHz - 3min 40sec 907ms SuperPi - 32M]

Drop down and give me 3min37, private !

[G.Skill date codes and PSC X vs. T/R series?]

The switch happened only on kits whose specs allowed for it. As much as G.Skill would like to use cheaper ICs on, say, 2400C8 PI, there simply aren't any alternatives out there.

It's not impossible to find 1600C7 with X-series that are new, but chances are those won't be good.

Normally most 2200 9-9-9 kits are BBSE, but from the seventh digit of the bottom marking, I see it's a "C" or a "D", indicating Elpida BCxx (which officially never existed) or BDBG/BDSE.
