Hi all. There is a problem: a couple of years ago I played through faf and the cpu test showed a rating of ~185 (+-10) points, now I installed faf again and I have a cpu rating of 382-390.
Laptop.Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, 16(8+8) GB DDR4 2400 , Radeon RX560X 4 gb
My friend, who has an i3 8100 processor and whose rating was in the range of 150-160 - he now has a CPU rating of 145 points.
The calculation for the CPU rating was changed some time ago to be more accurate to what the CPU would have to do in-game. This is probably why your ratings have changed.
intel gets better single core performance which is what faf cares about, you’re also on a laptop which a few years ago were noticeably overrated as a general rule . They overheat during games and downgrade the simspeed significantly compared to what their hardware would expect. No idea if yours should be that high as it is fairly modern, though.
@ftxcommando I don't think it's so bad that it scores worse than my old 45nm dual core Intel E5400 or Xeon E5450.
@ftxcommando when you start the calculator, the processor does not change its frequency in any way (it is in standby mode at a frequency of 1.65 Hz) and only 15% is loaded
