I've never run one before, but we will try this! I hope that's balanced for everyone 🙂

Could have a better balance for Z87.

This is the GIMP score only - not overall! GIMP alone is higher 🙂

I've been through RB results and people are pushing those numbers on reasonable to high clocked CPUs.

I don't understand what you mean by this statement, all of the intel processors can be benched on either Z87 or 97, or am I miss understanding something

Just trying to gripe with some humor. Z87 wasn't listed at all as an acceptable chip set in the original post.

Update 1 - I've added Z87 now 🙂 I forgot to put it in the title but it was in the post

Update 2 - I've added 165k/125pts for Intel i5/i7

Update 3 - I've added extra 110/120k scores for AMD. Really not sure how high AMD can hit!

Update 4 - Seems I completely underestimated the performance G3258 would do.. oops! I will normalize the scores with other Intel chips to be fair. Very sorry for late change but I have no basis for reference.

GIMP is a single threaded/memory efficiency test with some SSD/system read/write/IO performance focus. If you run two cores (so OS background tasks don't interfere) and the fastest/tightest memory timings you can do, you'll get best score.

Update 5 - Added 170 and 175k thanks to Meankeys blowing away my score chart expectations 😮

RB shows the cpu as a Pentium G3420 btw, I suspect it's got to CPU-Z to do. CPU-Z did the same thing in versions prior to V 1.70.00.

Yes 1.7 fixes issues with FM2+ CPUs too. Once Noden's is back and 1.7 ROG is out, we'll update 🙂

CPU-Z 1.7 ROG is out quite a while.
Gong back to my previous posts, mention/suggestion was made about subdividing the AMD section as you have done for the Intel. Cannot compete with FXs.
And it would be nice to have some goodies as prices for these competitions amongst members. No game codes or stickers please. This is an OC section. Some small goodies like ROG USBs/T-shirts/Caps and the like would be so nice.
