If it was mentioned before, sorry I missed it.

But were unlocked CPUs given their own category?

I tried submitting an UNlocked Sempron 130 to Athlon II x2 430

MrPaco`s HWBOT Prime score: 1611.48 pps with a Sempron 130

But there is no new category for the unlocked version .

 

Then looked up my 170u runs and see that a new category was added for the unlocked version Athlon II x2 270

Do I submit my unlocked 170u in the Athlon II x2 270 or in the 170u?

Am I wrong?

You submit the sempy 130 to sempy 130 whether it's unlocked or not. Just select the proper amount of active cores.

Always submit to the actual hardware, regardless of what it unlocks to.

Thats how I've always done it in the past,

Prime example:

My unlocked 170u unlocked to Athlon II x2 270 are subbed under 170u with 2 active cores. But BotPrime automatically put in the Athlon II x2 270u catigory.

There was no option to edit it when submitting the run.

MrPaco`s HWBOT Prime score: 1524.21 pps with a Athlon II X2 270u

 

Then I see a category FOR Athlon II x2 270 and one for 270u: AMD Athlon II X2 270 @ HWBOT

 

Thats why I ask, cause someones gonna have their hands full trying straighten all these categories with unlockable cpus

 

The way I see it is:

Athlon II x2 270U is for the UNlocked 170U

and the

Athlon II x2 270 is for the Retail TRUE x2 270.

 

But hey I could be waaaaaaay of base here

 

See what Strunkenbold has in mind

That is a bot error.

 

We will wait for the category master.

AMD Athlon II X2 270u exists:

AMD Athlon II X2 270u - AD270USCK23GM

AMD Athlon II X2 270u is for AMD Athlon II X2 270u

170u unlocked goes in the 170u ranking

 

Yes that is a problem when submitting datafile benchmarks. What to do is refresh the page then you will be able to edit all the fields.

Or edit the submission after submitting.

OK. Will do. Makes perfect sense.

But also keep in mind that when new OCers/Benchers enter the scene they wont know or realize these things when submitting datafiles.

Correct, best would be fixing that in CPU-Z. But I doubt its possible.
