Core 0 always has slightly higher clocks than the rest. Is this completely normal while benchmarking with r23?

    No, in cinebench it’s usually like 25mhz difference no matter what for me

  2. Perfectly normal to have variance between cores as no two cores are exactly the same when it comes to performance hence why some cores can do -30 and sustain clock speeds while some can only do say -15 etc etc. Also perfectly normal to have variance within about 50Mhz between cores clocks and effective clocks. If your effective clocks remain that tiny margin below your core clocks during an all core workload then you’re good. When you start seeing variance between effective and core starting to creep towards 100Mhz then you can start getting concerned with stretching.

  3. Thanks for the replies! Much appreciated ❤️
