2700X - 464 points while regular stuff runs in background (includes video playback, steam, Firefox, ...).

Ok, one old interesting flaship cpu test, 980x/990x

The result is exactly a quarter of the score I get from the official version of the benchmark. This mod is indeed more suitable for the top-end HEDT builds, as pointed by the author.

Question: If it's only exactly 4 times the resolution, and, if like the above suggests that they will be exactly 1/4th the score due to it (within margin), how does this help test HEDT programs? The issue stated is that with such high end CPUs, it's done too fast, but the score will reflect that, if it's only 1/4th the score that it'll show now and take 4 times longer due to the 4 times resolution, it won't change the fluctuation in score, simply the fluctuation in score will be 1/4th what it was, correct?

Example: If the 2990WX's score fluctuates between 5050 and 5150 (which is what i've seen, non-overclock), then this "extreme" will make the 2990WX fluctuate between 1262 and 1287, which is the same fluctuation, even if it simply is "smaller" number between the two.

So is that the purpose of this? to shorten the number difference between them but not the percentage difference?

Another reason: For 2990WX and similar CPU's it's very easy to run CB R15 while OCed hard since the stress is only for few Seconds, but now if the Render times is over 3 times then the max OC could be lower since the system will crush in the middle of the test, so obtaining same relative scores with the stock R15 will be harder.
Also soon we could get 48C~64C Threadripper, and for them CB R15 will be too easy, don't know why CINEBENCH not being updated to stress those high end CPU's.
For example: Quad Xeon Platinum 8180 :jumps around 9600~11500 points


Moreover, as I mentioned Mobile CPU's bench, new 4C/6C can finish the render withing the Turbo duration and without saturating the Cooling system, so for accurate score many Reviewers are doing multiple CB R15 runs to show the score fluctuation after the cooling is over saturated and the CPU start to thermal throttle, With this Extreme Mod you will get more real performance numbers since if the cooling is bad it will start to thermal throttle before finishing the render, For example I compared my Xiaomi Notebook Pro with i5 8250U (Max Turbo 3.4Ghz) vs Lenovo Yoga 730 with i5 8265U (Max Turbo 3.9Ghz) and with unlocked TDP I can get 182 points in CB Extreme while the Lenovo cannot get over 150 (cos Thermal throttle).
