Awesome!

Going after those gravy dualie points :D How did you find this one?

Atleast this is a retail one.

Wow ??? great work bro ???

Oh my god, almost 6.8g R15 on a retail 7350k! Absolutely amazing!

mellow yellow internal team battle

Great score, bet we see BB990 push this to 6.8

Since Benchmate is known to affect Cinebench scores this needs to go in the dedicated CB15 with BenchMate category imo

Life is unfair. Go on you lucky bugger.

dafuq congrats BB!

Correct

Does it ? Quick n' Dirty comparison of the Top 10 submissions simply based on amount of CB points earned per MHz of freq is showing this.
Keep in mind BigBlock990's score is the only one done with BenchMate AND most the lower efficiency subs are old, basically from launch meaning probably didn't run as much as more recent runs to squeeze out that last 0.0001% of perf

This is not true, BenchMate does not change CINEBENCH scoring. CINEBENCH uses timeGetTime() which uses the system's clock interrupt to accumulate time. The time source for the clock interrupt in Windows 8 and 10 is either the LAPIC timer by default or HPET (useplatformclock = true). The LAPIC timer is exactly the same timer as RDTSC, the CPU's timestamp counter. Because timeGetTime() is not precise enough (a timestamp can be skewed by 10 ms for example due to the accumulation and a rude division to be backwards compatible), I decided to use the more precise CPU timestamp instead for CB. This is the same time source, just more precise. The score doesn't really change, but it's more stable.

Switching to HPET for the whole system (useplatformclock) would affect the CINEBENCH scoring a lot more.

@GtiJason @_mat_ You're both missing the point. I didn't say this particular score was bugged and I didn't say BenchMate actively changes Cinebench scoring. I'm just stating that CB15 with Benchmate constitutes another benchmark, since e.g. it allows Windows 10 while CB15 without Benchmate doesn't. It wouldn't be fair on anyone to mix those two.

Thanks everyone!

@unityofsaints You are missing the point. Benchmate is the the way forward. If we require all benches to have a separate category "with benchmate" then what is the point of staying on hwbot? It would make WAY more sense for matt to create his own database, and leave hwbot behind.

Also you are incorrect about win10. All skylake and newer intel platforms are legal on any OS with or without benchmate.

I believe @unityofsaints is pointing out the current rule only, not saying that in the future benchmate will be integrated with the main category.

Great score! Congrats!

remove score and ban bigblock pls and thnx

I believe so too. I think a decision from HWBOT is needed here. Either go with BenchMate or go without.

If this not deserves the 161 global, I dont know what... the floor is drama

If we're talking in technicalities then the score is legal for only this category that it was submitted to as their is no validation file from the Benchmate utility. And the rules do not state that you can't have other utilities running at the same time (e.g. Benchmate).

@unityofsaints You are missing the point. Benchmate is the the way forward.

For Benchmate to be "the way forward" it needs to be open-sourced instead of relying on 1 or 2 developers. As it stands it's a handy tools for some special cases like Geekbench on Win 10. 

I have no problem to make BenchMate open source. I just doubt that there would many advantages, instead it give insight on how to trick it. Especially the HWBOT submission and its mandatory requirement to store zhe encryption key inside the executable would be easily visible.

But I am open to discuss this further!

My idea was to give the source code away to an overclocker I deem trustworthy to push this forward even without me available/alive.

I can see why people said dual core is no longer suitable for gaming, even this dual core world record cpu can only reach 771cb, while most mainstream modern cpu are already 1kcb+ on r15
