Alright Jow Forums, yesterday I made a thread, and you still didn't believe my formula works. Today I will be proving it actually does work, with a 2% margin of error.
TLDR: I made a simple formula that calculates the multicore performance of any CPU by only getting it's maximum clock speed, number of cores and number of threads (pic related) Right now it only works when comparing between the same brand and generation, however, I'm working on a IPC constant that's based on benchmark data, when that's over, you will be able to compare between different generations, Ryzen vs Intel etc. > why? Many CPUs, specially newer and lower end ones don't have much, if any benchmark data online. With this formula, you can preview and compare it's performance in a few seconds. It's useful to preview overclocking gains as well.
