On a properly behaving system, the MT/ST score ratio is somewhat lower than the MT/ST core ratio.
So if you see 7x gains, that's a CPU with 8 cores. With Hyperthreading, it's slightly over 8x.
Now for the Intel chips, that seems to hold true for earlier Skylake parts, like up to Kabylake. The ratio falls a bit after that. Probably because it's overextending 14nm?
Based on that the 17K score for that chip means it only has the 8 Golden Cove cores enabled and Hyperthreading is on.
Here is my max tuned 5950x vs Alderlake
Not sure this will be enough against Zen
3d considering how good rocket lake 11900k score in this synthetic benchmark compared to "realworld performance"..
It's not just due to AVX. The Intel chips do better relative to AMD on Geekbench.
I speculate maybe it has to do with optimizations they have done back in the days when they wanted to compete in the portable space. I noticed that with the Bay Trail graphics doing much better on the mobile oriented ones such as GFXBench relative to other PC oriented benches.
Also, the Amberlake chip does pretty damn well on Geekbench. In the real world, it's actually quite horrible. The U chips are something like 50%+ faster in single thread, but in Geekbench ST the differences are about 10%. Obviously for certain scenarios Geekbench is only second next to Dhrystone in how bad it is.
