I have several different 9800x3ds that I'm testing. Does anyone have a clue what SP actually predicts? Some kind of max OC potential, unrelated to voltages?
The cpu with SP 114 requires significantly less voltage to reach boost clocks than the SP 116 one.

Congrats, you got a really good chip. Mines a crapper 112 sp needs 1.288v for 5.4ghz
Brothers sp 114 needs 1.21-1.22ish for 5.4
Sp score Should be somewhat accurate
You can kinda manipulate SP scores with how cold/hot your chip is when doing first boot after flash. But your Second chip looks awesome to be honest.
SP = Silicon Potential
Higher SP = Lower voltage for the last VF point. I.e., can hit the boost frequency at a lower voltage. The idea is that the lower voltage allows more overclock headroom.
