Hey guys.
I wanted to understand just how much quicker my 9700K has become, if possible.
I found a reliable clock setting of 5050 MHz with 1.352 volts.
After running a Cinebench R23 multi-thread test, the temperatures stayed steady between 73 and 76°C.
I also tried a single-core benchmark, where I achieved 1335 points.
My original CPU speed was 3.6GHz.
Do you know if there are any formulas or methods I’m missing that could help me calculate the performance gain per core compared to stock?
Thanks for any help! ^^

"faster" also varies based on the specific use case and overall system. It's not just about the benchmark tool you're considering. A modest increase in basic clock speed might not translate to a similar improvement in all applications. To determine if it's actually better and by how much, you need to test your own particular workloads.

Each application behaves uniquely. To confirm accurately, perform a benchmark using your overclocked configuration, reset your clocks, and recheck. There are numerous benchmarks, each responding differently. Still, you can utilize userbenchmark and compare your CPU performance to the typical average for your particular GPU.
