It mostly affects Sapphire Rapids benchmarks.
This is like the nerd equivalent of doping...
isn't this basically what Volkswagen did with their Diesel engines to make their emissions look better?
VW had a trigger in their software that would make the engines more efficient if they sensed they were being tested. Chip speed isnt indepedently tested so Intel just rigged the test.
Yup, exactly what I thought seeing the title; they pulled a VW…
I am shocked, shocked to find that optimization is going on in here.
Sir, your Intel bribe payments...
Can't wait for the UseBenchmark article claiming this is an AMD conspiracy
