High-specced chips will be good for the underclock part It's a good duo of benches... one for high-bin parts and one for low
No?
Its a percentage based, so it may even be the other way around. If you have a CPU that's 4Ghz out of the box, getting it up to 5Ghz would only be a 25% overclock. My 1055T was 2.8Ghz out of the box, and is currently running at 3.85Ghz. That's a 37.5% overclock.
The only possible place it would matter may be the 3dmark CPU score, but those aren't exactly high. The challenge is to hit a certain number, not to get as high a score as possible.
only those with high end intel systems stand a chance ?
Low Clock
CPU PSN : Intel Core i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93GHz
Freq : 630.21 MHz (70.02 * 9)

I could do with an X4 975, that would give me a lower underclock.
