Custom cooled 285K is able to barely get over 11000 too.

Sucks how thermally limited halo chips are

I get over 10000 with nothing other than a 360mm AIO, I also don't find it hard to cool at all.


Didn't run with my 5090 because I sold it a few weeks ago for more than I paid due to prices going stupid here in Canada for almost everything again.

2P 5.7 E-Cores 4.9ghz 7200C34 Ram, Asus Strix Z890MB, basically minimal tweaking,

Anyone want to volunteer?

I don't want to risk burning out my 9950X3D on the ASROCK mobo. The 245KF score will be underwhelming so not worth trying for me.

Imagine having to worry about a chip burning up and using that as an excuse to not run a benchmark, all while throwing shade at intel.....

Wasn't doing that. I said "halo" chips. 9950X3D isn't easy to cool either.

And it's the mobo's fault, not the chip that I have to worry about the possibility of burning up. Thanks to ASROCK.

The comment "Custom cooled 285K is able to barely get over 11000 too." was meant to convey that Intel has lost the optimization advantage it had with CB 2024.

If that's not exotic cooling, Intel could make a decent comeback after all.

 

[igor_kavinski]

Never mind. Det0x confirmed that it's some bug. Disabling cores allows the single score to inflate.

 

[Tyler-98-W68]

Reran the test, I guess i'm only 600 points off the guy with the "extreme cooling" 285K is, just a simple 360mm AIO, does that qualify as "custom"

 

[igor_kavinski]

Good score though my MT scaling of 11x (out of 14 cores) is fantastic compared to your 17.75x

I'm joking! I'm joking!

That Centaur CPU is the boss of MT scaling. 7.25x out of 8 cores!

Pretty good score for a laptop: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/post-your-cinebench-2026-score.344520/post-5654204

That's like, double my 9800X3D? Granted the 8P16E configuration means that it should be around there; a desktop version would be even higher with higher power limits.

 

[Tyler-98-W68]

That's a trashy arrow lake cpu that no one likes......its no different than a 285k with reduced power limits. Ive tested my 285k at a bunch of different PL1 and PL2 settings and how it affects gaming performance. The official intel TDP limits state up to 160w of turbo and a base of 55w.

It's up to laptop oems to choose the final Power limits. Based on the score that laptop likely has pretty high sustained PL1 limits to score like that

 

[igor_kavinski]

a desktop version would be even higher with higher power limits.

Not that I've seen. It needs serious cooling to get to 10K or higher. 275HX is more impressive in that it is getting that score with the limited cooling that can be built into a laptop chassis.

My guess is that the good bins are going into laptops while the leakier ones are ending up as 285K. Once the Aliexpress 275HX frankenmobos start appearing, maybe someone will show how good a bin it really is.
