::: 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) | ::: 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.

:::: I'm not convinced of that. Outside of very rare cases, there shouldn't be more than ~10% CPU speed improvement through overclocking (usually less than that), which seems unlikely to be truly significant to observed Dolphin performance. In general folks posting their speeds are just chest-thumping. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 18:32, 30 April 2017 (CEST) | :::: I'm not convinced of that.

:: @[[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.
