Thanks again for participating in our PC Domination CPU Tuning Contest! We received a total of 59 submissions across all 3 CPU Tuning categories with the breakdown as the following:
INTEL CPU Tuning (41)
AMD CPU Tuning (6)
Open CPU Tuning (12)
Participants were told to show a screenshot of both HWBOt Prime and Cinebench R11.5 so we could compute their scores. Participants could provide two different types of benchmark numbers in order to avoid bias with one software over the other. Between the two scores, we would pick the highest after our calculations.
To calculate the winners and to ensure that entries with different CPU's can compete together, we used HWBot's database of CPU entries with this equation:
Final Score = [(User Submitted Score)/HWBot Score)*100]
This equation is not unique and has been used before in various other contests. By using this calculation, any card can compete and not simply have the user with the latest and greatest to win.
The HWBot score was determined by the criteria of highest score in the database for that specific card for H20/Air (whichever was higher). We didn't want to use LN2 numbers as the cards are not actually in systems (and to avoid high inflation of values). We also ensured that each card had at least 15 submissions for an adequate sample size. If cards didn't have an adequate pool, then the numbers wouldn't be enough of a representation to properly calculate user scores. Two CPU's (Intel 4771 and Amd X4 750K) unfortunately did not have enough entries to give a good representation so they were excluded. I did make an exception for the FX-9590, however, and while it had less than 15 entries, I decided to allow it for the competition. Since it scored high enough to win Bronze, I also gave a Bronze prize to the next winner (since he would have gotten bronze if I excluded it). A few other CPU(s) did not have enough submissions for HWBot so we based it off of Cinebench numbers - these were marked as 0's.
While I included a screenshot of the winners' scores, I have also included the spreadsheet below for verification (and the HWBot values I used to compute the scores). These HWBot values are recent as of today (5/26/2014) and can be found at http://ift.tt/1oBP9bh. Winners will be subject to validation of both results and contain the necessary components to have qualified.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS BELOW!
