No I don't

Here's a comparison to 1776

Fixing the 2 exceptions has improved a lot the performance. From 2331 to 1753.

Still far from the best results in my laptop, just below 1000 ms.

my first "new" computer in 20 years...
running in VMware in Linux, so performance isn't good
but better than my i9-9900t

B1852 is slower here, may anyone confirm?

Do people who (unlike me) understand the technical aspects agree with the statement below:

'AMD 9955HX3D seems to be be a better choice over Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX considering that CMO's simulation loop (pulse times) is overwhelmingly single-threaded and cache-sensitive'

'overwhelmingly single-threaded'

That part is false.

You may try yourself changing the affinity for Command.exe to just 1 CPU and you will notice the difference.

Just tried to run the benchmark with 1 CPU and got tired of waiting for it to start


I cannot comment on the rest, but according to ChatGPT, the cache part is correct.


Who said that?

Confirmed there is a significant performance hit with version 1852 vs 1825.15

Was you computer busy with other tasks while performing the benchmark?

I ran it a few times, rebooted between, and confirmed no processes/tasks were running. All average scores with 1852 were within the range of 5833 - 5875. Reverted back to version 1825.15 and scores were back around 1800.

Is it the Steam version or Matrix?

Steam version

I think there have been some reported performance issues with the Steam version on the discord channel.

How can they be different (so that performance is affected in different degrees)?

Steam has its own underlying infrastructure that games run in or around. It can have an impact at times for some games. Combat Mission ran into this as well at one time.

I do have a drop but not too terrible. I can live with this — more that I can live without the ability to assign weapons to multiple targets and unit doctrine behaving erratically
Interestingly, It is the first time i got exceptions at the start of the benchmark test

As a comparison with version 1825.15 (see below) new version (see above) is 22% slower

B1859 is faster also outside Steam.

B1859 benchmark scores significantly improved over my scores from B1852
