New member here. Been reading the various threads for a week or so. The above post drew my attention, especially given the responses that followed didn't really address it adequately from my POV.
CB15 scores posted are multi-thread, right? With results being linear, right? I assume so, given some of the calculations that I've seen in these threads.
If new record is 2449 @ 5.14GHz, even if R7 1800X hit 1601 @ 3.6GHz, the numbers don't add up.
2449 / 1601 ~ 1.53
5.14 / 3.6 ~ 1.42
So, for 1.42x base clock there was a result of 1.53x the base result. The implication being that the 5.14Ghz cannot have been the actual clock during the record run, unless AMD's implementation of SMT sees improved SMT as clocks increase. That seems to lack logic to me.
For me, that LN2 run was clearly run well above 5.14GHz.
Thoughts?
