Benchmarks Displayed on Website

Hi

Given that some of the new CPU results (e.g. single-threaded) displayed in your site can only be obtained from PT8, are the earlier graphics, such as the High End CPU Chart, now derived from combinations of PT7 and PT8 tests, or still just PT7?

I notice that PT8 and PTt scores differ considerably for my CPU, so if these are combined, is some fudge factor applied to attempt to level them?

Cheers
Geoff

There is a write up here about how we are doing the calculation for the new charts,

It is going to take a couple of weeks for the score to settle down. So it isn't perfect, but it is we think the least worst option.
