Yeah, will affect pricing

Fixed.

I'll post the press release later today.

We have three stages: 1x CPU (single core)-> ideal for Raspberry 2x CPU (dual core) 4x CPU (quad core) -> ODROID-U2 I would say the ODROID-XU is not allowed because it has 8 cores, regardless of how many are actually used for the benchmark.

Sure, why not?

Not sure if there are already public ones.

Ah, I see what the problem is. For the 8xCPU submission, the CPU string is "Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz". For the other one it's, "Genuine Intel® CPU @ 3.10GHz". Any CPU string that does not have an actual product sku but has something along the lines of Genuine Intel is blocked by default. The reason is (sort of) explained here: http://forum.hwbot.org/showpost.php?p=243199&postcount=5. Genuine Intel is a qualification sample, and Intel does not want those to be used for XTU profiles and scores. How come it says Genuine Intel? Older silicon revision?

Might as well have a thread for these too. Any early good batches? Big thanks to Doug2507 for building the batch list!!

I'll check with our developer tomorrow. It's an interesting issue. XTU is designer to automatically stop submissions with ES of unreleased hardware. For example, Ivy Bridge-E submission support was added a couple of weeks before the launch, but those submissions did not make it to public. There is code logic to enable them once the hardware is launched, but apparently this is not working for IVBE. You have a Sandy Bridge-EP. Not sure if we even have a launch date for that platform in our (xtu) database

Thanks, updated.

Yes sir!

Honestly, this kit is USD $2000 and it brings - underwhelming performance - only 8GB - DDR3-2133 grade packaging The author uses games to benchmark the kit. If you include games in your review, please recommend your reader to buy a GTX Titan for that kind of money. If you praise the extreme overclocking capabilities of the kit, please show the tests.

I feel physically sick to my stomach of this one. USD $2000 kit, matched in performance by way cheaper DDR3-2250 kits, gets a 9.6 and editor's choice award. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Avexir/Core_Series_3100_MHz_C12/8.html My reply: Unbelievable.

Bingo!

I am assuming no one's got a result that is unlinked from Pro OC. So we can close this round!

No idea, haven't heard anything about that yet. I'll ask, though

Will check this today. A88X is pretty much like A85 chipset, FM2+ is just FM2 with Kaveri support.

Awesome! Security an issue?

No(t yet). You'll need Linux distribution for this.

Moved in the right subforum

Next one's up Sept 15

Anyone up for a contest?

Nice benching guys (and gals)! We'll be going over the submissions today and update ASRock!

Coon with more info ... rules are ready, though. So preparation time!
