12900ks on DDR4 cpuZ low score ? Need some tweaking help

[Jonny5isalivetm5]

Hi all

There was a recent review done on a 12700h laptop and it managed to score over 1000 points on the single core cpuz test.
My chip only scores 873 ?

Advice please

Run HWINFO64 and CPU-Z at the same time. Does the max efficient clock look OK? That would be my first steep, before anything else

12900K is around 918.
No idea if it’s an average or what, but close to your value.

Was the 12700h laptop using ddr4 or ddr5?

No this one is fine, I have edited the title slightly for you. You likely need to start with a list of your full system specs.

Hi,
Just the silicon lottery kicking in
Many people wish they'd get good chips like the other guy has
It just doesn't work that way
Mother boards also vary in quality just like processors.

 

[Jonny5isalivetm5]

yes but the vcore works well when set fixed to 1.3 but the auto vcore goes wild

I wouldn't put much weight into a CPUz score honestly.

Hi,
Yes bad chips are power hungry still a result silicon lottery.

Laptops do some dirty tricks

Just because you have X CPU or GPU doesnt mean it's got the same cooling or wattage available as another laptop with the same parts

All you can do with a laptop is make sure its not overheating, have the OS and BIOS updated, make sure its plugged in with a genuine correct wattage charger and running on a correct power plan.


And probably debloat some garbage software that it shipped with, the CPU could literally be in use by something else like antivirus
