in my opinion there is another issue with Multithread Scores.
Good thing is that there are better scores for multi-cores processors but something happened with ALL AMD processors older than Zen core. These scores are (in average) lower by 33% than previous. It could be even possible if the previous algorithm was inproper but there are some very suspicious records - especially if you are compare 2 cores or 1 core CPU scores. My examples (but there are much more on the site) from my observations:
AMD Athlon X2 370K Dual Core: previous single thread score: 1461, actual single thread score: 1461, previous multithread score: 2251, actual multithread score: 1463 = 65% of previous score - it's worth to mention that it's the same score as single thread figure - looks like algorithms didn't use 2 cores....
AMD Opteron 150 Single Core: previous single thread score: 725, actual single thread score: 725, previous multithread score: 604, actual multithread score: 393 = 65% of previous score - in this case multithread score is on the level of 54% of single thread....
I could be wrong but for me it's some error in algorithm for all AMD older processors which declines the scores about 33%.
