My AMD FX-8320 got a CPU Mark score of 3,000; others get 8,000

*DELETE THIS POST - I FIGURED IT OUT - I unintentionally have software (EPU-4) that throttles performance for CO2 emissions*

I'm puzzled about how I should be interpreting the scores. My recently-built computer has the AMD FX-8320 CPU which scored 3,391 on the CPU Mark:

While others are getting a CPU Mark score of 8,119:

How do I reconcile such a large discrepancy?

Was that your overall score for all tests or just the CPU?

It was for the CPU only.
As I mentioned - I figured out why the score was lower - it was due to a program that throttles the CPU voltage and speed for "eco" savings
