50% reduction in CineBench R23 scores after 0x129 microcode update!

990 Views

Hi:

I have an Asus z690 13900K motherboard with BIOS set to Intel defaults.

When I run in Asus Optimized mode, my CB R23 scores (10 minutes) are 37K - 38K as expected for a 13900K processor.

But when I run in Intel Profile Defaults mode, in the "Extreme Performance" profile, my CB R23 scores (10 minute throttling test) are 16K - 17K !!!

What is going on here???

What is handicapping my CPU?

SSU logs attached as always.
