More than 64 Core Support?

Hello,

I stated a discussion earlier but I cant seem to find it anywhere so lets try again. I noticed in this discussion from last November that there will need to be an update to geekbench in order to utilize more than 64 cores... Is this still the case and if so when might a patch be available? Reason being, I'm seeing scores on 80 core systems that are lower than the new Dual SandyBridge systems with 32 cores. Please fix this soon, otherwise I will need to find a different benchmark utility to use and it took me forever to land on this one as my preferred utility (very few if not any include a command line tool)

Thanks,
Scotty

   Hi Scotty,

   Thanks for your message. Right now Geekbench only supports 64 hardware threads on Windows. While we might add support for more hardware threads in the future we don't have any immediate plans to do so (it's, unfortunately, a significant change).

   Could you send me Geekbench Browser links for results from both systems that are causing you concern?

   Best,
   John

   Sorry for the super late reply to this but here is the link for the system
   which has 80 total cores. As you can see in the first link, it's only
   picking up 64 threads and it scores lower than a server having only 32
   threads (second link)

   Let me know what you think.

   Thanks!

   Did we have any movement on this? Is there a projected date that support for more than 64 cores will be added?

   Thanks!

   Scotty -

   Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I believe this issue has been fixed in Geekbench 2.4.0, which is available for download on the Geekbench website:

   Could you try it out and let me know if you still have problems with Geekbench scaling past 64 cores?

   Thanks,
   John
