Question I need help understanding my Cinebench scores ?

[TheInfamousG]

Hi guys, I just built my first PC and tonight I downloaded Cinebench to benchmark my new system for the first time. I am not fluent in all of this techy language, and some of the things I am reading online are scaring me

I am running Cinebench 2024, and my CPU is an i7 13700k while my GPU is a 7900 XT.
My GPU score was 13,532
My CPU Multi Core score was 1,575
My CPU Single Core score was 116

Can someone please help me understand what this means? I read on Reddit that some people have Multi Core scores over 7,000 so is mine drastically underperforming or am I looking at something else? Thanks so much!

-EDIT-

I now realize my mistake which was that I was using Cinebench 2024 instead of Cinebench R23. I redid my Multi Core test with Cinebench R23 and my score was 28,783.
Is this a score good for my current specs?

I'd say that score is in the range of normal for an i7 13700k on Cinebench R23. Reviews hang at around 31000 plus minus a little, some closer to 30000.

Take into account not cranking your fans to 100% and not in an open air test bench, I'd say ~29000 is fine, and any real world use difference would be negligible.

That difference could also happen from particularly slow ram, or running 4 sticks rather than dual channel.

Cinebench R23 scores will bounce though my 7800x3d in multi hits between high and low 17ks depends on cooling and other factors
