Participate

  • This competition is closed. You can no longer join
  • HWBOT Team CUP 2023 - AMD is closed since 15 September 2023
  • This competition is between teams

General Rules

  • General and benchmark specific hwbot rules apply
  • Desktop hardware only (no server/workstation 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 Software Rules

  • Only Microsoft operating Systems allowed
  • BenchMate 10.12.2 version only
  • CPU-Z 2.06 or newer unless specifically mentioned
  • GPU-Z 2.50 or newer unless specifically mentioned
  • All other benchmark versions need to be updated including eg the Systeminfo 2.64.1188 or newer
  • Monitoring, systeminfo remain enabled for all UL Benchmarks

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 GPU-Z for each graphics card
    2D Memory Stage scores require CPU-Z tabs for CPU, Memory, Motherboard and SPD for each Dimm unless specified.
    3Dmark11 PhysX stages also require GPU-Z verification
  • Competition Wallpaper is mandatory for participation
  • Standard verification rules remain applicable, check them out here (click)

Sub-competitions

Each sub-competition consists of multiple stages. Check the stages for specific rules.

The point distribution of each stage is: 50-47-45-43-41-39-37-35-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 besides the SDR SDRAM memory stage which tops at 30pts

Why 4P cpus? Just 4core enabled?

One core per module enabled

@Leeghoofd can you clarify? Can we just disable cores to meet the 4 core requirement?

Never

The "4P" option represents one core per compute unit mode - certainly available on gigabyte boards, supposedly a certain bios on CHV, not sure about asrock and msi.  It was added because it's vaguely analagous to p-core modes on ADL (rankings like 12900K (8P)).

The difference compared to just disabling cores is that each core gets a full 3-wide decoder 100% of the time, a full 256-bit FPU 100% of the time, and an exlusive 2MB of L2 cache.  You can look at ths as the "P-core" and the extra integer units that normally share these resources as the "E-core".  Another way to think of it is disabling CMT.

I found a screenshot of the settings on a 990FX-UD7 but even cheapo gigabyte AM3+ boards like the 78LMT-USB3 have the setting.  Also attached are block diagrams (By Shigeru23 - Made by uploader, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=17130259) annotated to show the difference.

Realistically a 78LMT-USB3 even being a fairly bunnyextraction board but with true 1 core per cu mode will still beat a crosshair with disabled cores.  Imagine 12900K with 4P and 4E-cores vs 8P...

I'm talking about the AM4 section but I guess that also applies.

Correct, no core disabling to simulate another CPU allowed
