LOL I would like to see someone with an i7 and some "modest overclocks " score ANY global points right now. I picked up 12 in a week or so of benching my i7 920

AMD users are screwed from 2D boints in anything but CPUz and PCMark. (Pcmark only if they have SSDs and multiple cards)



Want to level the field so only the best "clockers" get top spot? You can keep points from any ONE benchmark per application

In other words 100 CPUz screenies of 100 chips, you can keep points for one. (will be done automatically, whatever one is best)


The argument that the guy that benches every cheap piece of hardware should not get to keep his points is silly. After all Vince benches how much stuff? Differnce is he is doing it while the stuff is new and expensive. His points are not so much a reflection of skill, as they are, a reflection of "look what I got"

Not saying he is not skilled, but a kid that can hack a dell laptop BIOS OC it till it burns up and only get s 2 points for it? I have more respect for that kid then the guy that is being handed stuff for free and being lauded for it.


But I have a different perspective, I am on the bottom looking up not the other way around.
