For some of the 12th gen CPUs, I always see the warning note that "Baseline has been excluded from average results due to anomalies in the submitted results. [Num CPU Processes - Tested: 24, Expected: 16]". I have two questions for this.
Q1: I know many people want to test their CPUs / GPUs for several times so that they could submit the BEST results. Unfortunately, it seems that PassMark only gives each person / computer one chance to submit, and once you have done so, you cannot submit a new score, even if your new benchmark score is higher. I know that PassMark requires a new benchmark score to be at least 5% higher than the previous benchmark score before it can be resubmitted, but this is based on the score of the whole computer, not some specific part of that computer, e.g. considering only the CPU or GPU etc, so it is very hard to submit your new exciting CPU score (for example, 20510 points comparing to the previous 18520 points) when your whole PC's score is not 5% higher than before.This leads to a lot of inexperienced people submitting low scores and underestimating the performance of the hardware. I wonder why Passmark cannot allow new scores to be submitted but has to set such restrictions? This is kind of not very user-friendly and statistically not inclusive / accurate.
Q2: Why this happened for the i9-12900K, i7-12700K, and i5-12600K? "Num CPU Processes - Tested: 24, Expected: 16" - is this because PassMark needs to be updated to fully support the big.LITTLE hybrid architecture of the Intel 12th gen CPUs?
