That sounds like a good idea.

Since you have eight memory slots, you must have gotten a Broadwell-E Core i7. Sounds like a nice system!

I look forward to these every few years. Could you share the a Geekbench URL sometime, or are the Pro version ones locked up or not comparable? Second, any thoughts on Geekbench 4? I just saw it this week and am temporarily recording results of both in case I switch in the future.

What would you like to know about that processor? It is a two-year old, 6-core Haswell-E processor.
