January 15, 20187 yr Hi I cant summit from the website it says "No client version given, required version: 2.1.0" but it works when I submit from the benchmark and I am running 2.1.0.
January 16, 20187 yr Administrators This often happens when cache of the browser or cookies are not cleared, it can also be a general browswer problem we saw lately. Using another browser or clearing cache and cookies often helps to solve this
January 21, 20187 yr Administrators A note on unlocked cpu scores - because of whatever reason hwbot does not recognize 3 and 5 core results done with unlocked (useless ) AMD cpus, and users and staff can´t edit these. This also is a problem at the moment for other benchmarks, but for these we usually could fix it in the past. We will see if we can fix this, but now we are all busy with rev7 and other stuff
January 24, 20187 yr Administrators We have a problem againn with a xeon http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?p=504423#post504423
January 24, 20187 yr Author It seems CPU-Z detects this CPU as Xeon E5-2637, while in reality it is E5-1607. Unfortunately not much I can do here, as x265 relies on CPU-Z detection... so if CPU-Z fails to detect properly the CPU used, the same mistake appears in x265 also. Sometimes this happened to me too, but should be possible to edit the submission manually and select the correct CPU once it is uploaded.
February 17, 20187 yr Author At the moment, I'm finishing my work on small update of x265 bench. Not so long ago there was some discussion concerning the granularity of the score. Since the beggining there were (and still are) just two decimal places. For most systems this is good enough to reflect even very small change in the performance. But not all of them - and since the attention is shifting more towards the 4k preset, maybe it is time to consider adding 3rd decimal place. Getting 3 decimal places is easy and after quick test it seems HWBOT API supports it also. So the question is - switch to 3 decimal places or stay at 2? This is double-edged sword, some people might benefit from it, others would lose points.
February 18, 20187 yr I am all for it. Gives me more reason to rebench my g470 with ram on dice so people don't take my gold with .611 fps
February 19, 20187 yr Author Ok then - 3 places it is. Other than G470 it should also make benchmarking of very old HW more interesting. With the legacy mode even PIII / first gen K7 should be able to run. Who is brave enough to run 4k on slot A Athlon?

I think I've found your man as long as he has a slot A athlon around. https://hwbot.org/submission/3735265_mickulty_hwbot_x265_benchmark___4k_mobile_celeron_800mhz_(coppermine)_0_fps

GFD too. I wouldn't have said I'd do it if I didn't have the gear.
February 21, 20187 yr That timing worked out well. Reminded me to hunt for a bigger slot A. Found a 850 Thunderbird cheap $15US. All win today
February 25, 20187 yr Author Version 2.2.0 is ready for release. http://hw-museum.cz/data/hwbot/HWBOT_X265_2.2.ZIP What is new: 1. there was a mistake in HPET detection of V2.1.0 - on systems that require HPET only error message was shown but the Run button wasn't deactivated... Therefore it was possible to run and submit the benchmark even without HPET (such results can be still recognized on screenshot - they contain red message "HPET timer not active"). This issue is now fixed. 2. Coffee Lake added to the non-HPET whitelist. Currently the list contains: Skylake, Skylake-X, Kaby Lake, Kaby Lake-X, Coffee Lake. 3. added option to select CPU name to submit. The first two options are 1) name like CPU-Z detects it 2) BIOS string. The third options leaves the field empty - this should solve the problem with unlocked AMD CPUs that are misdetected and can't be edited later. 4. increased the score precision to 3 decimal places. There is is a catch however. It seems HWBOT doesn't support it properly after all. Internally there are 3 decimal places - as they can be seen on the pre-submit screen... and also later when editing the submission. On the score page there are only two and how the rankings are calculated I'm not sure. Let's see if better precision can be implemented on the HWBOT side at some point in the future, x265 is now ready for it. http://hwbot.org/submission/3793276_ 5. updated CPU-Z to version 1.83.
February 25, 20187 yr Awesome. Can we use this for subs now or does it have to be approved. Edited February 25, 20187 yr by Mr.Scott
February 25, 20187 yr Author Yes, the new version is already allowed to submit scores. And if there are no problems with v2.2.0, it should be made mandatory after some time.

February 26, 20187 yr Hmm... I need to finish binning my g470s and get some dice for the mems then. Perhaps I can still break 0.62
February 27, 20187 yr Also just had this come in today, so that should help a lot https://imgur.com/a/VymnL
July 20, 20195 yr Author Updated package with CPU-Z 1.89.1 and newer version of bundled Java is now available. http://hw-museum.cz/data/hwbot/HWBOT_X265_2.2_cpu-z_1.89.1.zip The benchmark itself remains exactly the same, no changes from version 2.2. The new Java might help in some rare cases of application crash when saving the data file. CPU-Z 1.89.1 improves HW detection.
