*Beta* Black Hole Benchmark V5

i5 6500 @ stock
8GB DDR4 @ 2133MHz CL15

As you can see, the Floating point performance is very low for this CPU. I want to find out if it's only limited to skylake i5s or not. My i7s (with different architectures) didn't encounter a similar problem. Other CPUs with 4 Threads I've tested so far give normal results.

Same model of Skylake cpu as previous, but in a different system on my test bench

G4400 @ stock 3.3ghz

8GB ddr4 @ 2100mhz

For some reason got a lower score on this system

I totally agree. Also when it comes to 1440p gaming, CPUs barely matter.

Not trying to derail this thread but this is a pretty poor conclusion and not really accurate. CPU's are hugely important in games that rely heavily on single core performance or are simulating a lot of things at once.

Source: AMD 8320 owner and game at 1440p. It bottlenecks my 390 from time to time.
 
Skylake i5-6600K @4.6GHz

8GB DDR4-3000MHz

NO GPU, 1024MB OF RAM IS BEING USED FOR THE iGPU

any idea on why the single thread performance is so low compared to your 6500?

quad threaded float seems low as well

Hey C4C, the singlethreaded is indeed abnormally low. Could you give the bench a second run? I'm sure some side-processes on the same thread are causing this very low score.
For the FP performance rating, this phenomenon has been present on all skylake-based CPUs until now, we've sent Intel to gather more information about this problem.

much more appealing scores today... what I would expect from this type of overclock lol

i5-6600K 4600Mhz (bclk multiplier) --- total score 14626

Yeah, it still bottlenecks at 1440p but not at 4K. I had my 8350 with a 980 Ti at 4K and it didn't bottleneck in the games I tested. But I'm pretty sure it will bottleneck a bit in games like Arma.

What OC did you have on the 8350? I had my FX-8320 at 4.6GHz and seemed to do fine with 1080p and an R9 390, but Darren is limited to 4.3GHz because of his motherboard.

Edit: gonna run this test on both my laptops, and my little brother's PC for fun :P
