Interesting find on the the 3700x . (ur cpu maybe?)

Hey check out what I found:

Repeat this test on your machine. Fresh start of Windows 10 - Open Cinebench20 and HWinfo. Run the test and watch the clock speeds in HWinfo ........ for me I'd say 2 cores show almost 4.4 ghz and the rest of them more or less show 4.1 - 4.2 range in HWinfo..... / slowing down as it heats up....... fine.

Cool.

Now - Same thing / different test. Restart windows fresh. Pull up HWinfo again but this time, pull up and run "Intel Burn test" ---- set the "Times to Run" from 10 to 5 and *MAKE SURE* you tick the the little box that says "Output Results to results log"

Let it run. HWinfo will show similar speeds = 4.3 4.2 4.1 range for cores............. Now go look at the "results log" --- Mine will clearly say "clock speed." and it varies.......sometimes showing 3.68 , sometimes It gets up to 3.8 ghz.......... but HWinfo shows the 4.3ghz...... so........wtf?

One of the 3 isn't telling the truth. AMD/Hwifno/ or IBT.....or.....I'm not doing something right . But Hwinfo and IBT CLEARLY do not agree on "clock speed." Not even close. You try it......

I did what you did, but Intel's Burn Test does not report a "per-run" Clock Speed. The only one clock speed that it reports is the Base Clock Speed at the beginning, like this:

I R not.

That's what I thought too.......... I really did. But repeated tests will show different results in there. I mean, if it was only reading the base clock.......it would be 3.6 every time. Right? But the problem is , repeated testing will show different results. 3.8, 3.7. Once I even think I saw 3.83.......best I could ever get out of it.

Meanwhile, HWinfo is thinking it's cooking along just fine at 4.3 ish.........

Seriously, you're doing it wrong.

The intel software may be reading the speed of your CPU at the exact moment you start the benchmark, and it happens to be xxx Mhz?
