You asked for it - You got it.
Welcome to the "Warp 9 AMD/DDR Challenge" for 2020.
Comp Start:
To start off we'll be using all AMD hardware from different sockets that used DDR memory (RAM).
Qualification:
Ranking:
Each competitor will have a ranking within a socket category based on results achieved.
Overall rankings:
These will only be from the top five who's scores from all three categories adds up to place the combined total of all three socket/category scores within this ranking.
You must run all three benchmarks from all three categories to be scored in the overall top five rankings.
Scoring method:
You have two benchmarks that adds up points and one that acts as a "Penalty" in that the results you get from it will take points away from the other two combined points/scores to produce a final score for that socket.
Benchmarks that are scored as "Higher is better" will be the ones that add up to a points total.
Benchmarks that are scored as "Lower is better" will be the penalty benchmarks and results from these will then be taken away from the points total of the other two.
Also, with penalty benchmarks such as WPrime for example, the total number of seconds for the result will be what's used for this penalty value - The faster you can run the less penalty you incur.
With Super PI, the result for example will be:
A run of 31m 24.587 sec broken down would be calculated by the number of minutes (31) multiplied by 60 , then the remainder will be figured in as the result shows it.
31x60= 1860 + 24.587 sec ='s 1884.587 seconds/points.
This total will then be subtracted from the points total of the other benchmarks to give a final points score for that socket/category.
*NOTE: You must run the penalty bench to be listed for the socket it applies to - You will not receive a ranking/points score until it has been done.*
To clarify what the penalty benchmarks are per socket:
Socket A: 32M Super PI
Socket 754: PI Fast
Socket 939: 1024M WPrime
Rules:
Knowing what's valid and what's not is the responsibility of each participant so read the rules!
Standard HWbot requirements per benchmark for submissions will be required.
*Note that rules for all submissions have been updated recently:*
hwbot.org/newsflash/5140_updated_rules_for_verification_screenshots_2020_from_08012020/
General rules:
hwbot.org/article/general_rules
This states all the basics including useage of Win 8, 8.1 and 10
If unsure of the rules about what's acceptable or what's not, the HWbot rules for each benchmark can be found within the download pages below along with the actual download for each benchmark.
If you must ask a question concerning an entry/result you have, it's adviseable to do so BEFORE making the entry to the comp.
Any additional restrictions aside from HWbot rules themselves are shown within each socket category description.
Be sure to use the most recent version of CPU-Z with all submissions period and the most recent version of GPU-Z for 3D benchmark submissions.
*NOTE: With Socket A only, you can use an older version of CPU-Z if you must due to newer versions not working with Socket A in many cases.*
If having problems with the newest version of CPU-Z not working with your Socket A setup, this is the latest version known that works without any issues with all Socket A setups:
cpu-z_1.59-32bits-en.zip (868.34 KB)
*Also note this is for DDR based setups only, no Socket A SDRAM setups are allowed. *
Do not cover up or obscure any relevant part of the benchmark results, this includes the sub scores box(s) it has if applicable - It all must be clearly visible and within the screenshot.
Also no clipping of screenshots.
Example:
This is for all benchmarks.
No results will be accepted until the start of the comp nor after the end as shown above.
All submissions MUST be ran during the timeframe of the comp.
NO Intel setups allowed period, this is an all AMD comp.
**Note that cheating will result in action(s) taken against the offender to whatever extent is deemed appropriate.
Restrictions:
Cooling:
For Socket A:
No Socket A SDRAM setups allowed
No SLI/Crossfire.
*NOTE: For ATI/Nvidia cards that have been unlocked or BIOS modified (Such as an X800 GTO with the extra 4 pixel pipes unlocked or a card BIOS modded to a higher model /X800 to an X850/ as examples of this) be sure to indicate this with your submission so when it's seen we'll know and won't disallow it.
The cards themselves must still be of the models spelled out as "Legal" to be allowed.*
For Socket 754
You must run a CPU with an L2 cache of 512KB's or less.
Can be desktop, server or mobile if applicable.
All 1024MB L2 cache CPU's regardless are not legal for this part of the comp.
No restrictions on CPU or RAM speed, timings used and so on.
This covers all of the 754 part of the comp.
For Socket 939
No multi-cored GPUs
No SLI/Crossfire
No dual cored CPU's - All single core CPU's are OK. Again, can be desktop, server or mobile if applicable.
This covers all of the 939 part of the comp.

Welcome to the "Warp 9 AMD/DDR Challenge" for 2020.
Comp Start:
April 1st 2020 00:00 CST (U.S.) through May 1st 00:00 CST (U.S.)
Current Comp Status:
CLOSED
To start off we'll be using all AMD hardware from different sockets that used DDR memory (RAM).
We'll also be using a mix of 2 and 3D benchies to compete, with 3 benchies in each category and each category itself having 3 benchies to run.
For general discussion of the comp, comments about submissions and so on, please do so within this thread: warp9-systems.proboards.com/thread/1248/warp-challenge-2020-discussion-thread
Qualification:
You must be a registered member of the forum at the starting time of the comp.
*NOTE: I neglected to make it known over at TPU so those guys can still particiapte if registering after the comp start but they'll only have three days to do so.
To be fair towards TPU members, they'll have until the end of April 3rd at midnight US CST to register here - Once the deadline passes the comp registration requirement will be fully enforced as originally stated.*
