Hi.

I was just wondering: in the current periodic share/speed report, is there the raw hash rate, the one the machine can actually compute? Not sure if the value in parenthesis is this number as it seems quite smaller than the value I got from older versions. Does --benchmark still output this value reliably?
Thanks.

Yes, the number in parentheses is calculated by counting hashes. This calculation is also used in the new block report to calculate TTF,
thread hash meter, and benchmark total. This is called the "reference hash rate". Anything related to actual shares
is called the "effective hash rate".

You can find details in the Wiki...

As far as interpreting the values, the reference hashrate is simply the sum of the last sample from each thread.
It can be volatile if there is other activity on the CPU. Some miners average it but I prefer discrete samples.

Newer miner versions should not have a slower ref hash rate. If anything they should be faster if not equal.
If you find otherwise please post the details so I can investigate.
