Hi !

 

Can you add AM3+ in compet's description to avoid confusion ? ^^

Good idea, added

Says AM3(+) yet I cannot do a submission with my Phenom x6.... what?

Hm, what processor in particular are you trying to submit with?

September 4, 2015 at 2:32:01 PM UTC

division iv is only for amd fx series like fx-4100,4300,6100,6300,8320,8350,8370,8370e,9590 etc.

That is AM3, not AM3+. ;)

Div IV is for AMD FX CPUs; so Bulldozer and Piledriver cores.

Maybe you should say AM3+ instead of AM3(+) then and say it has to be FX.....

I very much so agree. The way it's currently worded any AM3 or AM3+ processor should be allowed to submit, doubly so as there are no restrictions (other than "AM3(+)", which would indicate either/or of the two sockets is allowed) actually listed in the overview.

 

Sure, the stage limitations specifically state AM3+, but not having this information right in the overview itself makes for conflicts, and therefore people either taking the time to run and tweak benchmarks to get a good submission (and then finding out they don't qualify and probably getting rather irate about it), or even worse, people not even bothering to run in the division.
