And my point is people are comparing PBO voltages versus manually tuned voltages. One can easily get 100+mV undervolts even starting from stock settings, on all platforms.
Here's the same story happening on Intel 9th gen:
View attachment 32939
Stock 4.6Ghz 124W and Blender done in 305 seconds.
Manual 5Ghz 128W and Blender done in 280 seconds. Lower temps too.
Intel power management must be retarded, they're essentially leaving 10% performance on the table. Or could it be there's more to this than just comparing automated systems that must compensate for tolerance across thousands of products with values tuned for one chip only?
PBO is overclocking for the masses. Stock is settings for the masses. Anybody who wants to extract full performance out of their PC needs to tune it on a chip by chip basis.
Apart from the unnecessary snark in your post, I'd like to add that I never said it was "retarded".
I'm just interested why a piece of software can't test frequency and voltage, taking notes of when there's a failure and reach the best performance settings based on parameters set for users?
