:: I'm a bit dubious that any overclocking is likely to effect things from a support/compatibility perspective enough for us to worry about. The clean-up would be fairly simple if speed indicators were just purged.

::: Although we overall don't focus on performance on the wiki, from my understanding the main purpose of the testing section is providing an insight of how well a game run on a given system configuration and a specific Dolphin version. In that regard, even a minimal overclocking of the CPU will directly affect the results and thus I strongly think the overclocked speed should be included in the test entry on those cases. Otherwise, for CPUs running at stock speed, dropping the GHz indicator is harmless since they're reflecting the performance all users of that CPU should get at stock settings... - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 09:31, 30 April 2017 (CEST) | |||
:: @[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] If the guidelines were changed so that speed would not be included anymore, then certainly I would follow that. But at this time they instruct us to include the speed of the CPU ("Indicate CPU speed with a "@ #GHz" postfix listing the stock or overclocked frequency"). | :: @[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] If the guidelines were changed so that speed would not be included anymore, then certainly I would follow that.

:: Regarding the formatting of the CPU speed - Though it is a minor detail, it's important to me that my own testing entries include the .0 appended at the end, It looks neater, more uniform with the CPU speeds of other testers, and it is officially how both Intel and AMD classify their products. Is that acceptable to you, until the guidelines are changed?

::: That's a -1 from me. Even if we update the guidelines to "enforce" that, there's already thousands of test entries following the current guidelines and as such they would need to be cleaned up. TL;DR a lot of work just to accommodate a very small nitpicking - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 09:31, 30 April 2017 (CEST) | |||
