i9-9980H Cinebench Score

[7FigureSwagger]

Hello all!
I am new here, this is my first post, anyways, I got a score of 2940 on Cinebench for this i9 in my Laptop.

Just want to know what y'all think?

 

16GB 2400Mhz RAM

 

I was also wondering if this is a CPU that should be paired with more or faster Mhz RAM?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: RAM specs

That really only depends on your usecase, not really on the cpu.

You can pair a r3 with 128gb of ram if the workflow demands it.

Are you actively running out of ram during your work?

Nooo, it's a new laptop. But Ill be doing software development, and web development on it. I was looking for something that could also handle CAD and similar programs. The reason I was wondering about the CPU is I want it at least a little bit future proofed. The 8 cores is probably overkill for right now, but yeah I definitely don't want to run out of RAM. I am not sure how far in the "future" 16GB will be haha, seems to already be a standard in any higher end laptop.

Does it run on 45w? It seems ok, considering my 8750H (45w 6 core, high core count always ride on the power limit) gets 2600 points with a short override power limit period. Or 2400 if it's not allowed to break power limit at all

I haven't messed around with any settings, I am not sure how I can tell what the draw from the CPU specifically is, but the info you've given me there does help understand a bit. That's an 8th gen i7 that you have right??

My first gen ryzen 8 core got over 3100 points at 65w, so 2940 seems about inline for a 45w processor.

16gb is yeah the standard amount of ram for a normal pc. But you can always add more ram later on if your laptop doesn't have soldered memory, so i would add it when you actually need it.

Yes. 

 

Download throttlestop. It can monitor power limits, let you mess with it (to a certain degree, limited by the motherboard's bios) and especially the voltage. That's how you do undervolting to squeeze out more performance and efficiency.

You should know it's not comparable between different architectures.

Yeah unfortunately it is soldered haha, just wondering if I should utilize my 14 day satisfaction period to order a 32gb model =P. I was thinking that may be best and not to worry too much about the CPU as I mentioned, I think it'll be overkill for me for years to come. I just was hoping that it was able to cool itself enough to be able to boost for more than just one or two seconds lol...

 

PS that score was without the power adapter connected, which funny enough I think makes it score higher, I guess because of the thermal bonus from not charging!  (First ever score was around 2550)

If the ram is fully soldered then i would go with 32gb.
