cinebench R20 score

[Ashhez]

can someone who is more familiar with cinebench explain the scores to me. i just built a new rig and i score between 6990 and 7030 i just have no clue where i stand or what this means. if someone could explain that would be awesome.

what are your system specs?

The point system is highly likely based on something internal (actually, it has to be.. it's sort of a scoring system).

Most people can see it as an arbitrary number, used to compare one CPU to another.

 

If you ant to know if your score is good, compare it to other people running Cinebench on the same CPU. Usually you can find scores in reviews.

The forum has a very large spreadsheet of Cinebench R15 numbers, but sadly the R20 spreadsheet is quite bare still.

A score of 7000 sounds about right for a 3900x. As others have said the score on its own doesn't mean much, it is used to compare to scores of other CPUs.

My 3900x is at 7210 for single core.  So yes, right in the neighborhood of where it should be.

Pretty sure single core will be about 500+ not 7k.

 

I am a bit annoyed with my 3900x, every review, every benchmark, always puts it at 7000+....mine, 6,600.

The only way I got it over 7k was overclocking it.

 

I did lower the voltage on day one to 1.25v from 1.45v though, so that might be the reason.

Yep, my bad.

If you are wondering the fluctuations in score. That's actually sign that test really run some calculations. The margin of error is sign of reliability. So if you run test 10 times, it should land within 100 points every time.

 

Ofc minor things can have significant effect. Like some other CPU heavy task running at the same time.
