Ok I'll try and put this one to bed. (or maybe open a whole new can of worms
)
I don’t see these as separate competitions; all single cpu competitors’ are included in all rankings. Information required – competition user name, cpu type, cpu Oc (if any)
League 1 ‘blockbusters’
Straight out race – one Mobo, max 4 active processors allowed.
Can’t see any problems with this.
League 2 ‘overclockers’
Points divided by stock cpu speed.
SB table confirm (well almost) my C2D-AMD-P4 comparison but I actually think the simple ratio of baseline to achieved score he suggested is better. Simple, effective and comparable – genus
Does need some work adding both scores and dividing my two.
Only
problem I can see with the CPC data is that it’s intel bias, as the AMD are better at the tinker/amber cores (abet there are less of them around currently)
see here.
That said you could use the benchmark list at techreport to amend the Custom PC larger list of cpu’s
League 3 – ‘ecowarrors’
Points divided by Watts used
TDP lies (well that a bit strong) but AMD and Intel define them differently for a
start, and even then It's no real help to working out Oc's so that a non-starter
The compiled list I've already put up is based on real life figures with watts used in a typical rig doing DC projects at 100% load.
The difference due to additional Ram above 1gb (2w per GB of ddr and 5w per GB of ddr2) is not worth inc. Chipsets can make a massive difference, but relate to cpu almost directly so I’ve gone with keeping the table as is (abet I need some xeon figs)
As to Oc I've been doing some research and come up with two simple ratio's as power/thermal output is liner to clock cycles.
Most Intel’s are between .098 and .093 watts/Hz. To keep it simple I'll call it .095
C2D and AMD's have a shallower line of between .078 and .084. so I'll call this .08.
Or to put it an other way, Intel’s have Oc factor of 95w per GHz, and C2D & AMDs have a factor of 80w per GHz
Are we all following ok - no! well let's give an example.

= 185w (stock) + [(3.6-2.66)*95] (Oc in Ghz times 'intel Oc factor' above)
= 185+[.94x95]
= 185+89
= 274w
Accepted it's a bit of work but nothing that a spreadsheet couldn't do in a flash.
League 4 ‘bang for buck’
On reflection I think we should drop this.
It’s open to argument if MM prices used. I like the idea of current prices (at Ocuk say) but this will exclude many participants - might do this for my own purposes but not as part of competition.
Edit: As to the Intel vs AMD (with is a great idea btw) - all that needs is an average points per person to remove the issue of one team being larger that the other.
