I have a two year old MSI GS65 (i7-8759H 2.2 GHz) that runs a simulation (CPU intensive no graphics) on a simulationI chose for comparison in 5 min 55 sec
I upgraded to a brand new off-brand laptop with an i7-10875H 2.3 GHz . The same simulation took 17 minutes to run
I assumed it was the off brand not up to snuff so I returned it and got an MSI GS66 (i9-10980HK 2.4 GHz) . The same simulation took 16 minutes to run.
Should I assume that the seller is doing something with the settings or not doing a good job with the thermal paste (I chose a "thermal grizzly" when I ordered which was the best according to them)?
Any ideas on why Im taking such a big performance hit if the cpu is so much "better"?
As a side note Ive been running this same software 20 years, and this is the first time ive ever got degraded performance when upgrading CPU architecture.
Also worth noting, I see the same factor of performance decrease running the simulations single threaded or multithreaded.
The Intel XTU benchmark I ran on the GS65 is 1600 on the old vs 3500 on the GS66 if that helps any.
Any advice or insight would be much appreciated.
