After nearly 10 hours spread between yesterday and today, the scores followed on many different configurations.

It’s ultimately Wizerty that has stood out in the crowd with an interesting strategy. By focusing on 2D benchmarks, he took advantage over the rest of the competition, focused on 3D. HWBOT Prime, XTU, Cinebench R11.5 and R15, WPrime 1024M, SuperPI 32M, PiFast … On each of them, he secured a comfortable first place.

He was closely followed by steponz, which manage to make some good results on  3D benchmarks, as well as bboyjezz. They then won respectively the second and third place. Just behind, none other than the second at Classic Battle, T0lsty who has demonstrated its strength in 3D. Finally, the winner of the first competition, Vivi, also made a performance in the ranking, at the fifth place.
