【3Dmark Time Spy Extreme】 CPU Benchmarks Thread

A decade or so ago, hardware sites were asking, “Will dual core processors enhance your gaming experience?” Today, we’re looking at new processors from AMD and Intel that can have up to 18 cores in some cases.

The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential. Compared with Time Spy, the Extreme CPU test is three times more demanding. It also lets processors use more advanced instructions sets up to AVX2 when supported.

Something appears odd with the way AVX2 works.

Run with custom mode for CPU and CPU Instruction Set left on AUTO uses AVX2 but scores ~4900

Spoiler

But explicitly setting AVX2 scores ~6500

Edit: Should have read the manual. Selecting AUTO runs a mix of AVX2 and SSE3 while selecting AVX2 doesn't.
