What do you mean by submission area ?

Do you have links to the submissions ?

Yes

Single sided vs dual sided? Maybe throttling?

Just a quick thread to show there is no RTC or clock drift issue with Skylake when changing the BCLK at runtime. Test: Skylake i7 6700K with RTC enabled in Windows 10. Based on the findings described here, we would expect a difference in benchmark result from running 41x100, 40x102.5, and 42x97.6. Specifically, 42x would be approximately 3.4% faster than 41x. In our test we find that: 40x102.5: 8.977 sec 41x100: 8.983 sec 42x97.6: 8.999 sec This confirms with the hypothesis that Skylake isn't affected by clock drift. The real technical reason is that the BCLK frequency is now a separate ICC and is no longer tied to the other clock frequencies.

EZ point grabbing!

What's the problem? Looks like your increasing in score

useplatformclock = no useplatformclock = yes

On it!

Testing new version - this is really cool!

Points algorithm stretched to its limits ... yikes!

Hells yeah!

If you want to know if something changed for compatibility reasons, why not just ask that. Claiming "the bench is broken" is needlessly negative and will of course cause a reaction. Mat's putting a lot of work in this benchmark and it's one of the better ones we currently have at the bot. It wouldn't hurt being a bit more positive in your approach. Anyway, just my 2c.

I think we should call us very lucky that there are guides like this. Everything we need to know, shared and at our disposal pretty much at the time of launch.
