HWBOT Benchmark Rules simplification

[Leeghoofd]

like many noticed the rules were hit and miss over the last week, mainly due to an issue wth the Amazon hosting and the Wordpress server HWBot still uses for articles and especially the hated rules section.

So time to have a look at the curent rules and try to simplify them. So everyone can have fun again without the requirement of being a NASA engineer to analyse and understand them.

 

An example of Maxon's Cinebench R15:

 

Old rules:

 

 

versus new rules:
 

 

No more loss of time debating over the ability to be able to push the bclock , FSB, or whatever you want to call it. Thus no more distinction between desktops/laptops,.... one simple rule for all platforms.

 

I prefer this far simpler layout, covering the standard stuff.

General warning: Rules can remain this simple if everyone abides them. If people start bending again, we will end up for some benchmarks with twice
                                the amount of content again. So play it nice to keep everyone's life as easy and straightforward as possible.

 

You can check out the other benchmarks via the frontpage. 'BVoth the old and new proposed rule are present. Keep in mind that the Beta benchmarks are not redone yet, but you will get the global idea.

Opinions, thoughts are welcome. Don't worry updated screenshot examples will be added too.

 

 

Remember the aim is to make these rules easier understandable for everyone.

Looks good so far, great work!

Dare I ask about the general rules section? (I probably shoudn't, but it is horrific ).

yes that's next on the drawing board, some stuff must be specified in there so we can keep the simple format here.

Suggestions are welcome!

these will be inserted in the General Rules:

Check the benchmark rules page. This is just an example how it will look in the future

I like the new format so far much easier to use. I was going to comment about the cpu-z version info not being present in the Cinebench example but looks like maybe you were still working on it because it's included in the wild life example. Good job!
