Wow, same as Splave's submission o_O really impressed by efficiency! Did you used a special tweak or just random run?

[Splave]

ancient Japanese secret I see that you have found it as well. Great run!

Thanks guys:)

Splave-san, what have you found??

[Splave]

I was just kidding nice run man

[AndreYang]

Found low voltage then better score

[Splave]

ding ding ding

[Hondacity]

Found! low voltage = better score

 

bingo

Thermal throttling?

[Hondacity]

why would it be thermal throttling...its full pot.

[Splave]

I get credit for this right? lmao

 

Honda I think the chips are more efficient with a smaller delta between core and pot. Less voltage less heat..

[Massman]

Whoah. Nice find!

[Hondacity]

Its not called thermal throttling though. Thermal throttling is a safety mechanism. At this temperatures and high voltage its another thing. I don't remember the term lol.

Thermal throttling does not have to be at what you consider high temperature.... And honestly, has Intel only made one fluck up with Ivy???

 

I can think of 2 already...

1) TIM has 1/8th conductivity

2) Some Intel staff, wanted to sue half of the review sites globally, and especially overclockers 'leaking' - but as usual, hollow preaching, balls to follow up on the big words wasnt present.

 

BUT; I agree with the evil minded Dutchman, nice find.

[Hondacity]

Its called saturation point. All switching transistor exhibit this when they are pushed at their limit.

Oh man, damn you, now I wont just have to study for exams, saturation point I'm going to follow up on ;-)

Cheers though.

[Hondacity]

while you're at it read intel's white paper on thermal throttling

I thought I would have posted the comment below just after my previous comment(#3), but did not;

 

" I think this could be a bug-run, cos I can't reproduce the same level of score afterwards. I will delete this submission in some hours"

 

So I think low voltage doesn't matter at all for this result at least.

[Gyrock]

I am sorry for confusing...

[Hondacity]

I don't think its a bugged run. Splave's efficiency is close. It could be transistor q changes with temp and degrading thermal paste between ihs and die.

hey mate

I have scores leading up to this and it was reproducible for me

[I.M.O.G.]

I don't think its a bugged run either. Lots of ways to screw up wprime runs, and a few ways to make a good score slightly better than another at the same frequency.

[Gyrock]

Hi splave-san! So you found something, congrats:)

And I haven't yet... Anyway I'll do what I said:D
