Hey @Brother Ben, how are you doing? Hopefully this benchmark can still be valuable.

I'm hitting the E-TVB limit in Benchmark 2. So it doesn't boost the one core running the benchmark at 90% because it appears to load very small workloads on other cores. I've tried raising the temp limits for E-TVB, but raising it by 10c-20 doesn't make it difference, and raising it by 30 or disabling or  playing with TVB optimizations or E-TVB and OCTVB caused a terror of BSODs, So... yeah I'm giving up on that one.

I am thinking about upgrading my pc, and thought I would check my current setup here. I'm not sure if I've filled all the required info in correctly. My C benchmark score wasn't as bad as i thoight it was going to be! I actually first thought it had performed really well but then i realised i was looking at the D table LOL. Hopefully my scores will be of use to people on older setups. I did not bother with Benchmark D as it would have taken far too long!

First of all, shout out for keeping this thread all these years! Not all heroes use capes (unless you use one). 

 I just want to make a recommendation, it seems to me that you copy all those data and then put them in the sheet. Maybe if you use google forms or microsoft forms and let the link be available for response, the sheet always updates automatically, and if someone makes or asks for a suggestion, shares information or just comments it would be easier to find ( because wouldnt have all the setup posts).  

 Using the forms you can add more data without more work, can add RAMs CAS(latency), ssd speed (write/read), OS version or whatever you want ( just dont make it way too huge).

 Thats it, man! Congratulations!

Alder lake is brilliant for football manager because of the very fast ipc gains. I've got an i5 12600k and football manager feels so snappy, and the processing feels so much quicker.

First of all, I was surprised by the test results, after digging from several sources it turned out that the i3 12100F indeed was able to surpass the R9 5950X in single core performance.
I bought i3 12100F because there was no budget for a more powerful rig, ended up with a result far beyond my expectations (I didn't know Alder Lake was this good before).

it looks like a change to 13 generations will be a good solution

I have my i5 12600k overlocked to 5.2ghz on the P-Cores and that score's 2098 in single core and it blasts through football manager and the E-Cores actually work as well which helps as i have many leagues with full detail on, well the top 8 european leagues and the cups from the top 8 leagues and i have most of the nations loaded with about 50-60 leagues.

My setup seemed to get faster/more efficient as the detail level ramped up. I listed the stock turbo frequency, but I am overclocked - both PBO and all-core (MB switches between them as needed). PBO gets me ~5.025GHz on 1-2 cores, and all-core is 4.65GHz.

After a mobo switch, a cooling switch (vrm, cpu loop to aio) and a ram oc to (4400mhz, 128 GB, 32cl), I figured out that the non-convex coldplate of the water cooler messes up the alder lake IHS bending problem even more. So, a 3rd party contact frame or an air cooler with convex cold plate will cool the 12900k(s) way better, causing the TVB to boost the first two benchmarks way better under 50-70 degrees Celsius. So, if you're gonna play FM22 or FM23 not modded and with less than 25 leagues and less than 200k players with a I9: You'll have worse performance if you don't use a cooler with a convex coldplate, don't use a contact frame (or thick washers under your IHS) or don't undervolt your cpu. Sure, Raptor lake will have per core and package oc TVB support, but that just looks like a compensation for running 8 more E-cores as it's the same design and a stopgap according to Intel = same cooling problems expected. Not to deny, FM has excellent multicore support, this is more on Intel trying to rule 1080p benchmarks by squeezing out lunatic thermals. So as I'm stuck trying to finish my career with 200 countries hoping I'll finish it before Raptor lake launches so that I can play less CPU-intensive games and wait for the 13900ks around March/May '23. I'm predicting, I could redo the benchmarks, but after testing in Cinebench, I think I'll prob be just 5 to 10 seconds faster in the first two benchmarks, so maybe the trend of only better perf in heavier loads is a better warning for users visiting the first page. I'm thinking this is way too complex tech talk for most so;

Simple TLDR: If you buy Rocket Lake or Alder Lake mostly for FM23 and don't mod or load all leagues like in benchmarks C or D, just buy an I7.

I know I am late to this topic, but I hope this post will help someone.   

I had to stop playing FM after FM17 due to multiple reasons (life, work, kids etc.) but I am getting back to FM again this year, and thanks to Amazon, I got free FM22 and trying to go through the vast changes happened over last 5+ years. I thought why not run a quick benchmark to see where do I stand and prepare for FM23. I only ran benchmark once per type, ideally I prefer average of 3 separate runs but I felt it was tedious and the game is old, so nobody will bother.

Thanks for the benchmark, never too late, all helps, especially as you have a Mac Studio

No need to do more than one run, i've tried that myself in the past and it tends to only be a second difference, if that.

I'll be updating the spreadsheet tomorrow and I'll definitely be doing the benchmarks for FM23. 

I'll most likely keep the benchmarks the same unless anyone has any ideas for something different?

Great news Ben! Regarding ideas, saw some suggestions in this thread but; benchmarks have shown Windows version doesn't matter (only turning on Virtualization-based Security matters), Ram speed or latency is for 95% of test cases within the margin of error. Clock speed only matters for heavy modders and even apple is maxing out clock speed. Only thing I'd add is a TLDR section for people with short attention spans and those not liking charts; “I usually play with (amount) of leagues, with (amount) in full detail. What CPU do I need?“.

Cracking scores here mate from what is basically a budget build.  The fact that you can run High graphics on a 1030 shows you don't need to break the bank.

Your i3 also outscores nearly every processor that isn't Intel 12th gen on Benchmark A.  For a £100 processor that is crazy.

I'm now in between computers, whereby I had to return my new one that was delivered last week as it wasn't fitted correctly. Very annoying, especially as I had wiped Windows from the pc that I used for the benchmark score I posted above in this thread. I am proudly sitting at the bottom of 2 of the 3 benchmarks I tested!! So for a bit of fun I have an old spare pc that I use for streaming in another room. Here are the benchmark results for this one.....brace yourselves....

2nd post updated with screenshots split into Benchmarks and platform.

Big thanks to everyone who has tested, we are only 19 tests short of last years total so tell your friends and neighbours to get testing!

I've not looked at the sheet in a while so I'm just noticing it is divided into laptops and desktops and that's a good idea

AMD 7000 series looks impressive. Think they release next week?

Hope anyone who gets a 7950x or a 7900x can post their results here or on the FM23 thread. 

7950x looks underwhelming. 12900k still outperforms it the majority of games tested on nearly all resolutions. Only advantage is work applications. Most reviewers are not positive. AMD probably has gone all in on 3D chips. Really hope it's just an early adaptor problem. I had FX bulldozer, this feels the same.

LOL. When I've paid over 2 grand for a pc the least I expect is for them to have lined up all the usb/hdmi/ethernet holes correctly so I could put the cables in to the back of the machine! You're my tech support, this was basic manual handling support! 😀.  I bet if I had turned 1 screw on the motherboard I'd have invalidated the warranty!

I upgraded to one of these a few months ago - the difference between it and my old i7 is incredible in FM and the benchmarks seem to bear this out for other users too.

Glad to see I'm not the slowest though.
'A' was absolutely fine.
'B' produced temperatures slightly exceeding 60 degrees but nothing alarming.
'B' did pause for ages on the Thursday, at least 4min I reckon, twice as long as it took to process the Saturday games for some reason. The only thing I saw of note there was Spurs bringing in Inzaghi as manager.
I guess that's enough to stop anything in its tracks :brock:

But because it took that long to do 'B' I've not bothered with 'C'. I was tempted but not sure my PC would cope tbh.

@Jolyon Chen

Hey tech guy :D

3.2GHz processor but only 2133MHz clock speed.

Was looking at XMP and how to overclock it in BIOS but when I go into BIOS, it doesn't look anything like normal modern ones.
It's like something from "Halt & Catch Fire" in the 90s :rolleyes:

To overclock, the option should be in 'Advanced' from what I understand but mine looks pretty much like this one:

Lenovo%20P300%20BIOS%2013%20-%20CPU%20Se


I've looked in the other sections too but nothing. Am I missing something? Or is it simply that Lenovo, like HP and others, do not allow overclocking?

Thanks

@Earnie is God!

Hi, So, to clear some things up:

1. XMP doesn't care about overclocked or “non-overclockable” CPUs, that should just work. 2. Your RAM profile without xmp should just dial back to an old slower version when it doesn't work, but that is not the same number as CPU speed. 2. 6500 and a 4770 processor both officially can't be overclocked (only with very old bios' firmware, long story, doesn't seem still enabled with you here). 3. Question: how did you see your processor speed only hit 2133Mhz.

As I think you've confused your RAM profile with your CPU speed here? If not, follow step 2;

Step 2: turn on “high performance” in your “energy management” app in windows like Ben always tells us. If there is another plan there like “full performance” “max power”, "Lenovo/MSI/Evil Inc Gamer 1000%" don't use it.

Can you download the program called hwinfo64 and run benchmark “A” again? Take a screenshot when you're done of that program. Like this:PRSCREN.thumb.png.8e7c53973e1335e5e208fc0162be9714.png
