Hey, I see the problem with your 7980XE. It seems like 3D Mark isn't handling it properly, even though everything looks fine. Disabling hyperthreading helped improve performance a lot. The issue might be related to how the system manages threads under different settings. Try checking if the driver or firmware is up to date, and consider adjusting other CPU settings to see if that resolves the low FPS. If it still doesn't work, you might need to consult the manufacturer's support for further troubleshooting.
Boosting per-core IPC turns off HT. Because the Time spy can't handle that many threads, your score went up. Nice, right?
At 4.7Ghz with HT on, I expected over 15000 Physics, but I'm seeing 12200. Turning off HT raised it by about 1.5K without any justification. Proof: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/7984223 This user's HT isn't disabled; their setting is at 4.6Ghz.
It seems you're looking at performance factors beyond just the CPU speed. Many users with similar frequencies achieve better results, and higher frequency often correlates with lower scores. Have you explored aspects like cache, mesh, or RAM timings? Check out this link for more insights: https://www.3dmark.com/newsearch#advanced?test=spy
Yes, you're interpreting the scores correctly. The 3D score went up while the physics score dropped.
The increase in my score came mostly from GPUs, and HT actually helped boost performance. Without HT, I struggled with FPS, but I managed 4.8Ghz otherwise. Running at 3200Mhz memory helped, though. The team mentioned RAM is important and TimeSpy isn't accurate beyond eight cores, which explains why some people get high scores. I'll check RAM next and aim for 4000Mhz.
Consider the timing details and smaller intervals since latency matters more than speed. That's why I recommended turning off HT in your threads initially. You need to thoroughly assess the system as a whole before pointing fingers at any single part. Most experts disable HT anyway—just check the hall of fame, where the top entries come from a 18 logical cores on a 9/7980xe
