Was kinda hoping for more of a gap in the 2048k results. Will have to crunch the numbers later to see where each scenario sits, but I suspect it may not be as big a gap due to the fast ram in there.
Comparing the OC and stock P95 results for now. For starters, we're expecting ~5% increase from core clock, and ~17% in ram bandwidth. Looking at 64k 8 core 8 worker, we see near enough the 5% expected due to core clocks, as this is a small size not affected by ram speeds.
Moving to 2048k, I'm not so sure what's happening. 8 core 1 worker went up 11%, and 8 core 8 workers went up 25%. For those not familiar with the workers, see 8c1w as a single multi-thread task. 8c8w are 8 individual single thread tasks. 1w means threads can share cache, 8w each has their own needs. Given the increases are greater than 5%, this can't be due to core clocks alone, and they are ram limited. But 1w is short of expectations if it were purely ram limited, and 8w smashes expectations. If you stack both ram and core increases that comes to 22%, so not far off, but I'm not sure this is the case because if you're ram limited the core shouldn't make much difference.
A single 2048k worker has 16MB working data, and past experience shows performance is usually great if the L3 is at least the same size. But here we're still clearly seeing ram bandwidth effects. There is also some quantity of look up data, which didn't seem to matter but it may do in this case. What cache speeds were used? I see 3000 in the OC screenshot, and 2400 at stock, were these used during the runs?
I never got to ton of volts as I hit the thermal limit before that... AVX-512 is such a beast the test version of Prime95 supporting it already results in scary temps at stock never mind looking at OC.
Looks like we'll all have to grow content with hefty AVX offsets if that instruction set is added to Intel's gaming CPUs.
They'll be on most all of them... I think by 'gaming' perhaps you meant mainstream CPUs?Looks like we'll all have to grow content with hefty AVX offsets if that instruction set is added to Intel's gaming CPUs.
