What about Cinebench R20 for CPU benchmarking?
Idk if there is a 'modern equivalent' to Time Spy, or just stay with it.

If considering storage I wouldn't necessarily count storage performance since that typically doesn't have an impact on volume, but rather storage amount that does.
I agree about using newer Cinebench, R15 runs so quickly on modern high performance CPUs that when I did my submission I noticed that you could make an unrealistic tiny case with terrible cooling that would throttle like mad in sustained loads but finishes R15 quickly enough that it doesn't just for the purpose of ranking high.

Also vote for R20, it's a must.

I vote against storage capacity or speed, each ITX board can fit m.2 drive, so it is not a matter of space optimization but only a matter of who can afford 2TB m.2 drive. Similar story for RAM.

GPU, CPU, and PSU to power all of that is where it's at for volume and space optimization.

How about we fork this in to a several different competitions:
1. FPS per liter. For gaming machines. Where not the number of cores but the "per core frequency" is important.
2. Storage and streaming capacity per liter. For NAS that can do streaming (Plex, Emby). There can be a lot of fun with GPU and CPU based trans-coding. OS and file systems.
3. Compute per liter. Where sustain CPU + GPU compute power should be important.

I think that will provide knowledge and fun for a lot more people.

@Aux : Thanks for catching my graphics score mistake. :thumb:(I used total score)
Edit: Also, I guess you can remove my old score. It's #18 now.

no worries

its ok, its a record of peoples computer building over the last year and a half . . . its interesting to see the changes

Glad to see you guys kept it alive, I've been working on so much non-SFF stuff this last year!

Not entering officially, just wanted to see where I would be on the list for fun.
This is in a DanCase A4 under a 645LT.
(3173 x 14460)/(7.2^1.5)/100 = 23748.68

R9-3900X @4.3GHz all cores
4113Mhz @ CL16
2080TI (1,995 MHz/1,975 MHz)

Wow, that is impressive. How long can you run it with a 48mm cooler?

My next dream build is a 3900X, but I thought it would need a 65 or 70mm or H2O...

48mm? The 645LT is an AIO.
I was dailying with that setup (for portability) but I would by lying if I said I was 100% satisfied with the thermals.

I need portability and power . . . just not so many cpu cores. . . the thermals are always killing me in my case I have designed . . struggling to get it to cool


So for the next round?

Cinebench R20 for CPU benchmarking

3. Compute per liter. Where sustain CPU + GPU compute power should be important.
This is my area of interest, more single core than multi core
