Would anyone be kind enough with a 24 or 28 core 7,1 mind running Cinebench 2024 for. benchmark?

I have a 16-core and trying to find out the difference.

Here's mine:

I tried to run Cinebench R23 and Cinebench 2024, on my 16-core, with Monterey. But a bug, or error, prevents it.
Cinebench R23 runs fine on my iMac Pro, also with Monterey.
The problem in my case is that the licence window is empty. I got a warning about plugins the first time. And I have tried re-installing three times.
Apple App store offers only Cinebench R23 (in my case).

Did you run a test on your 16-core smckenzie?

Cinebench 2024 is fine on mine.

I've had empty plugin windows before, specifically a Photoshop plugin, the Autodesk account manager and the Maya launch screen. Drove me nuts until I plugged the display into a different MPX module (I have 2x 6800x Duo's) and all was fine.

The question is if you can find an upgrade for a decent price.

For a long time they were hovering around $1200. The last few times I looked (many months between) there was almost nothing out there. A few "new" for $5-6000 or whatever....

There's been a steady few on eBay, pulls from existing machines. Right now 24-cores are around $1600 and $2500 for the 28-core. The 24-core seems the better buy seen as it's pretty close in terms of performance to the 28 core on Cinebench.

How either translates to real world use is another thing. The I9 14900-KF I have screams, everything is very snappy and it chews through renders. Main downside is cooling it as it thermal throttles right now. That's where the MacPro is good.

The CGI Director website has the 14900KF scoring 2200 on Cinebench but I don't think that's real world. Mine scores around 1620, so like an M1 Ultra. Googling around those that got higher scores had to overclock and in one case you liquid nitrogen to cool it lol. I need system stability, not hero scores.
