The Official Team CUP 2022 Thread:

[Leeghoofd]

General Rules

• General and benchmark specific hwbot rules apply
• Desktop hardware only (no server parts) unless explicitly allowed at stage rules
• No ES, nor unreleased hardware
• One bencher can only contribute once for each stage
• For the stages that require several results, different CPUs / GPUs / MEM types are needed (example: LGA1150 cpu bench with three results needs 4790, 4770K, 4690, if three different benchers submit three results with 4770k only one will count to the ranking)

General Verification Rules

• 2D scores require CPU-Z tabs for CPU, Memory and Motherboard
  3D scores require CPU-Z tabs for CPU, Memory and Motherboard and GPUZ
  2D Memory Stage scores require CPU-Z tabs for CPU, Memory, SPD and Motherboard
• Single CPU only unless specificially mentioned
• Single card/GPU core only unless specificially mentioned
• Compettion Wallpaper is mandatory for participation
• Standard verification rules remain applicable, check them out here (click)

For some reason the Pifast and Firstrike iGPU stages don't specify the number of scores required, probably just an omission. I can see above in the OP that they should be 2/3 scores. Cheers for organising this comp, the stages are looking great!

Firestrike seems unintentional, but perhaps for sdr one score is a good idea? 

[Leeghoofd]

Both had set 2 subs for SDRAM and 3 for Firestrike, I did  not configure unique hardware, that's the only reason  the amount of subs doesn't pop up...

What about cooperative bench, like team uses same platform? It needs to be like "teammate #1 uses 4790 + memory kit #1", "teammate #2 uses 4770 + memory kit #2"... etc. Right? Is it ok to use same GPU, if it's a CPU benchmark, like Wprime32?

What about LGA 2066, like 7740X? HEDT is not allowed?

[Leeghoofd]

Core I5, sorry

C2D E4700?

Current config allows 7640x because dB has it in kaby lake family

Sorry, I ask because the E4700 processor is classified by Conroe:

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_2/Intel-Core 2 Duo E4700 HH80557PG0642M (BX80557E4700).html

There are also processors with dual classification Conroe|Allendale:

E6300, E6400, E4200

https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_2/Intel-Core 2 Duo E6300 HH80557PH0362M (BX80557E6300).html

Edited July 29, 2022 by MykolayZack

[Leeghoofd]

We have them listed as Allendale 2M.

[TASOS]

Pure Allendale core , never had a G0 stepping production.

Ε4700 was a late production cpu , G0 stepping only ... odd cpu , that was probably a cut down version of a Kentsfield core.

I second this, Allendale-2M should only be L2 & M0 cores. G0 = Conroe/Kentsfield.

[Leeghoofd]

I just picked these CPUs as they are fun to bench and for once it is not about the wolfies, York or Kentsfields... For Database changes contact Gregor or Alex

[yosarianilives]

I don't bench s775 at all but all the s755 homies in my circle are excited for Allendale, so bring it on. 

[TaPaKaH]

Allendale is a funky core in terms of use consistency.

1) There are G0 versions of E2140 and E2160. Technically, these are Conroe-4M.
Should these be allowed?
I don't think it would matter. I tried thousands of these and haven't seen any that would have any competitive advantage over a good M0 chip.

2) There are L2/M0 versions of E6300, E6400, Xeon 3040 and Xeon 3050. Technically, these are Allendale-2M.
Should these be allowed? I don't think it would matter either.
Unless you are TAGG, you'll never find an L2/M0 that would bench above 4.5GHz so you're much better off running a random E2180+ / E4400+.

I'd say just pick a random stance on either of these questions and no one should complain

Edited July 29, 2022 by TaPaKaH

[Noxinite]

Or just lock it to E2000 & E4000 series, that seems to be the intention after all.

[yosarianilives]

Ban it all, make entire comp centaur hauls /s

[Leeghoofd]

nope current format stays not adding other CPUs with maybe bigger cache... hunt them E4XXX... don't like it , plz skip stage... move to next one...

Yes, but only E4x00 are valid for this category because of cache sizes

[TheQuentincc]

I agree that the E4700 shouldn't be allowed because it's not an Allendale core (needs delid to confirm it).

As for Memory Stage 3, does memory ic count as the brand ? or only the PCB ? or only the SPD ? What about zombie stick ? Only stock/unmodified stick are allowed ? I think the valid needs the CPU-Z SPD reading of all the installed stick.

[Leeghoofd]

A brand is Corsair, G.Skill,...

A Memory model is TridentZ, Ripjaws V

Memory type is IC based, Hynix, Samsung,...

We will go for CPUZ SPD tabs per module
