Hello,
i have any WU's,
ex:
sse3 (5825354; 21,287.58 sec ; 165.92 points )
sse2 (5852212; 21,204.30 sec; 104.85 points )
pni (5887555; 21,290.52 sec; 166.24 points )
for the same Workime i became different Points.

WHY?????

Tom

I'd say the SSE3 & PNI ones are within experiment error.

sse2 one is lower because your wingman wash shorter CPU time.

the credit awarded is an average of the 2 computers times so it can vary due to the averaging process.

Hello,
the WU 5852212
my Wingman have 19,457.10 sec.
I have 21,204.30 sec.
Ok.
But why make thats a different from 60 Points ?

Tom

It does seem to be quite a few point difference for not much time difference.

I don't have a good explanation of why though.

I have one here that's a much bigger spread but not so much on points:

Here's a huge one!

Maybe it's an SSE2 vs SSE3 thing?
