I'll have a look and compare, meanwhile stick to previous version.

Is the score the same ?

[I.nfraR.ed]

According to my testing there was no difference in the score, but the newest CPU I've tested was Thuban.

There might be a difference with Bulldozer/Piledriver.

Using a processor without XOP support, score is the same.

But when you use a processor with XOP support, the difference is HUGE:

 

A10-5800K @ 4.77GHz using newer UCBench:

 

A10-5800K @ 6GHz using old UCBench:

XOP was introduced with BD, it's the equivalent of AVX/SSE5.

His versioning number is confusing, the software was uploaded recently but it's labeled as 2011 wth.

Is there a trick to use XOP? Running win 7 here, and ucbench crashes immediately if I select XOP. ANYTHING else runs fine. This also happens at stock.

[Mr.Scott]

On XP you don't even get the option to run XOP. Is that 64 bit only?

I think XOP is some sort of sorcery

XOP is AVX, so 7 SP1 / R2 SP1 / 8 and on linux with kernels 2.6.30+

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks for the clarification, Massman!
