Notes
We pit a single TOXIC up against the reference version to see how the 45MHz increase in core clock helps performance.The usual bits apply here. We ran each benchmark a trio of times, discarding the outer results and reporting the middle one. If any of the three results looked erroneous, we threw all three away until we could collect three within a margin of statistical error. Any major attempts needed to get three reliable results we let you know about, of course. Apart from that, things are as noted on the graphs and in the graph commentary. Want to know more? Hit up the fantastic, awesome, entirely gorgeous HEXUS.community. You know it makes sense, etc, etc.
