a Dell xps 12 - almost fresh, with nothing running in the background (1% processor use) gives me a score of 66Cb in the newest cinebench processor test, where the suggested score is ~210Cb. Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?

Good question, on battery or plugged in? This makes all the difference in the world on a laptop.

Also, is it on High Performance mode? I have the same laptop and will do the same benchmark soon.

It is on the battery setting. Click on the battery on the taskbar near the clock. If "high performance mode" isn't there, click on "more power options". You should see it there. If not, you can edit one of the other modes in "edit plan setting" "change advanced power settings" "processor power management".

Go into Control Panel and click on Power Options. And make sure you're plugged in and doing the multi-core benchmark.

I have the I5-3337U Dell XPS 12 and got 223cb plugged in on high performance, so you must be on power saver mode.

Just ran it unplugged on power saver mode and got 69cb.
