The official HWBOT Team Cup 2012 - SC2:

hy

the core 2 x6800 is authorizes for this level ?

thanks

Are core 2 Quads allowed?

Says Core 2 family, so yes - duals and quads:)

Is E6XXX Wolfdale (eg. E6500K or E6600 ) fine to use in this competition or only old E6XXX Conroe?

Pentium and Celeron duals aren't Core 2. I was assuming it was only dual cores but perhaps quads are included... I don't see any posted yet though.

Several of these classes, like the E2xxx, E3xxx, E5xxx no actual Core 2 cpu exist. They are either celeron or pentium dual core, but they are all based on the core 2 architecture and part of the core 2 family.

They are allowed. The competition is for the Core 2 family

E3000 has only Celerons. E2000 has only Pentium DCs.

Pentium E6xxx can participate?

Yeah. They're based on the Core 2 technology at least.

Thanks, guys!

Okay, let's go to Ebay.

hi, I can not download the screensaver...

hmm, which screensaver?

 

if you mean the background screenshot, it's here

yes , is there. because the link here don't work

thank you

It's very not fair if Q6xxx meet E6xxx in UCbench. In SuperPi E6xxx still can compete with Q6xxx . But it's ok, let's hunting Q6600 G0 SLACR . It's mean Q8xxx allowed too for stage Core 2 8000 series... right?

Yes, it does. I do agree with you and don't much understand why this wasn't limited to just dual cores. A Quad makes every other dual core chip irrelevant. The 6000 series has 19 dual cores and 6 quads (3 are Extreme chips) and only the Q6600 is common (Sorry all you Q6400 users out there). So why limit the stage so severely and really make the Q6600 the only chip to use?

Huh? There are many quads - did someone say the QX chips are not allowed?

In reality you need certain cpus to be able to compete in any such competition. E6320 won't do much good here even if you only allow duals, for example. This principle does not change if we allow quads or not. Still, it says Core 2 series, and quads are definately a part of that series.

I don't have a problem with the rules, certain chips will always be better. By having a pool of (in the 6000 series) 19 dual chips to choose from would allow for more people to be competitive. By excluding the majority of the chips (and I don't mean that the 6320 is just a poor choice against a 6850 but that the very best dual on LN2 can't even catch a quad on Air) you are essentially making the rules read: Use only Q6400 - not even list on HWBOT, Q6600, Q6700, QX6700, QX6800, or QX6850.

Again I don't have problem with it, I own both, just trying to make a point that by limiting the contest to duals would have provided a wider field of scores and a great deal more interesting scores since all the duals are at least in the same realm of scores.

the problem is i can't find a source for q7700

the problem is i can't find a source for q7700

I like that challenge.

nothing in ebay or I'm stupid

There was a seller who had a few a long time ago, so I bought them while they were still available. He had 3 models, q7500, q7600 and q7700. Pretty rare chips.

I was just writing that Knut bought them all

but ther iis nothing anymore : (

when you'r uploading knopfler ?

I need to actually bench it first. I will do it, but not yet (exams...).
