Oh I know that simulating the cpu is nearly an impossible task and even if my test equipment is accurate it does not mean it simulate a cpu properly or effectively. That is the task that anyone as a tester struggles with. I am putting out with those numbers are not how effective my proposed bench will be but that what it is simulating will accurately measured. The best that we can hope for in any bench is a good comparison that offers enough accuracy to differentiate between blocks. Just look at systemcooling's review of the new apogee block. His test predicted that the storm would far out rank the apogee but it did not beat it out in system testing. This shows me two things, one that the die sim is a good comparison but cpu testing is also needed and that our tests do not account for everything. For now I am going to shut up as without my bench up and running, no one is right but arguing a unprovable point.
