   Sucess! John, thanks for your diligence in getting this resolved. Both GUI and CLI use 40 cores/80 threads (not as high of score as I was hoping, but i'll keep running tests) - http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/903766

   John, looks like this issue is back in v2.4.2. Running the 64bit test in the GUI only uses 32/40 threads, running the 64bit test from CMD line uses all 40 threads.

   The memory also shows incorrect speed: "-1 Mhz"

   Hi,

   Did you ever resolve this issue with new E5 Xeon v2 chips? I ran Geekbench 3 on a dual 2690 v2 workstation and GB3 results showed just 32 cores, not 40 which it has (20, hyperthreaded). Thanks.

   Hi Christopher,

   Unfortunately we haven't resolved this issue. We're still looking into it but it's slow going since we don't have any test hardware with more than 32 cores.

   Best,
   John

   Hi John,

   Geekbench is a pretty respected benchmark - just have your marketing person
   email the marketing director of Supermicro or Boxx or HP saying you'd like
   to borrow a new 24-core for GB v 3.0 for two week - I would be surprised if
   they say no as you're just borrowing.

   Or maybe you've since solved the issue?

   Hi folks,

   Geekbench 3.1.6 addresses several issues that affected Windows systems with more than 32 cores. Could you download Geekbench 3.1.6 and let me know if you're still having problems?

   Thanks,

   Hmm, I'm not getting results at all. It seems like the tests aren't
   actually starting and it just sits there with the progress bar (CPU
   activity at 0-1%). The first test sat like this for ~8 minutes until I
   killed the process (the cancel button didn't seem to work either).
   Something doesn't seem right.

    Hi Stephen,

    Could you email me directly at [email blocked]? I'd like to figure out why Geekbench has stopped working for you.

    Thanks,
    John
