8525 Overclocking benchmarks
 

I have been using XCPUScalar going back 3 or 4 devices, and decided I'd try it on my brand spankin new 8525 to see if there was any true improvement. Of course XCPU's CPU meter says 500mhz, but I d/l SPB's benchmark software to see if there is any appreciable difference, hopefully someone here who is higher up in the geeky ladder than I am can explain the results, granted it would seem to me that the "CPU Benchmark" of 1190.58 on the pre-overclocked 8525 is lower than that of 1313.33 on the post-overclocked 8525. Full "misc" category test results are below:
