Batch would be very nice, although probably not everyone would fill it in ... stepping we can see on screenshots / cpu-z valid's unless only an ORB link is posted for 3D's ... But then if you spot such a link, just look for 2D scores from that user with same cpu around the same period and 99% will be the same chip

I asked RB to provide a text field in which people could add the stepping/batch, but haven't seen it so far

we decided not to split steppings to keep some kind of competition active, otherwise we'll have 10.000 hw categories instead of 1000

Plenty of 920 D0's consistently hitting within 4.5-5.0GHz on air

HWbot cannot sort by stepping?

Any 975 should be capable of that.


If you want impressive, try reaching 5Ghz with a D0 stepping Core i7 920 on water
