    How to bench Sandy, Ivy, Haswell and Broadwell CPUS if 6.4.x becomes mandatory ...?

    in Intel XTU HWBOT Integration

    Posted

    Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't XTU only compatible with the last 3 generations of Intel cpus ? s

     

    To clarify: the XTU team validates functionality with the last 3 platforms for each major release. This does not mean that older platforms are not supported, it just means that functionality is not validated.

     

    The overclocking interface for Intel CPUs has been standardized a lot since Sandy Bridge compared to older generations of hardware. This helps for better legacy compatibility :)

    I personally find this a very derogatory statement considering most people here are just rallying to have the problem fixed

     

    The term "sensationalist" refers to the people who made a public how-to, not anyone in this thread voicing their opinion or concerns.

     

    Funny you took it personally though.

    Well, this is what you made with HWBOT Prime... Why threat them different?

    There is no inconsistency.

     

    X265 points were restored when we found a way to 1) spot cheated submissions and 2) the developer was able to identify a fix quickly. This is also the case for XTU. The difference between both cases is that for XTU we were able to start moving BEFORE it went public. I was in touch with Intel the day we received the news and in a call a couple days later was reassured a new version was in the works that addresses the issue.

     

    For HWBOT Prime this is sadly not the case.

     

    (Note: after we found a way to spot the X265 cheats, the staff went through a whole lot of submissions only to find 1 person had been doing this)

    Just to make this clear as it seems people are riling each other up in this thread: there is no indication of any significant amount of cheating in XTU (yes, we could spot irregularities in the cheated submissions)

     

    We will NOT remove points for the >99.999% who play by the rules because of actions of the <0.001%.

     

    I also want to say thanks to @RULE for bringing the problem to our attention prior to it going public. It gave us a much needed head start to address the problem before the sensationalists came along.

    Update: possible replacement event in Taipei Oct 22-23

    in HWBOT World Tour

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    As you know from another thread: the event in China was postponed from November to April next year. This means we would have one less World Tour event than planned. A couple of APAC overclockers reached out and asked if we were going to host a replacement event in order to have a chance to qualify for the OCWC in December.

     

    So,

     

    We are currently looking to host a replacement event in Taipei in the weekend of October 22-23. We are working as fast as possible to confirm the plan and will update this thread in case it all goes through.

     

    Just wanted to give a quick heads-up :)
