Does anyone have benchmarks on MBP 16" for Cinebench R23 that was just released?

Got a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 5997 for my MacBook Pro 16" core i7 base model with 16 GB ram and 512 GB SSD. Haven't done a single-core test yet.
Used to get around 2639 for the multi-core on Cinebench R20.
When running R20 there weren't any dips in core frequency average below the baseline, however when running R23, after about 2-3 cycles there were multiple drops in core frequency average below the baseline.
Will keep you posted about the single-core

Hello, could you share more details of your Mac. RAM?, SSD?, CPU model and Model Year.
Current system info is in my signature line. If you have that turned off, it's a 2019 16" MBP / 2.4 GHz i9 (9980HK) / 64 GB / 4 TB / 5600M.
Interesting that multi-core is lower and single core higher than my essentially identical Mac (9980HK, 64 GB RAM) running 10.15.7 / 19H15.
Something to keep in mind when comparing benchmarks of hardware running different versions of an OS.
I'm very curious if this is systematic or not or if testing differences (e.g., external display or accessories connected at time of test) were involved. If the OS is the only explanatory factor, that is a HUGE limitation of using benchmarks to judge performance. I've always known the real-world performance of a system is not necessarily predicted well by benchmarks, but if that difference is explained only by the OS, that's a major issue!!!
I had created a new local test account, rebooted and logged into it. Mac had nothing connected to it, running on a fully-charged battery. Opened terminal and killed any 3rd party background processes, and then ran the test.
Nice! That is a sterile testing procedure.
Admittedly, my test of my 2.3 i9 was not that good. I used one of my two commonly used user accounts and performed the test after starting up the system, logging into one account (and not opening any other apps except R23), waiting for temps to fall to idle, and then began the test on AC power with a fully charged battery using the OEM charger that could provide the full 96 watts. I had a few items that launched on login but I don't believe these were doing much (1Password, Text Sniper, DriveDX, iStat Menus, Caffeine, Magnet).
Unless auto-updating is turned off (it's usually on by default) on every app then you don't know exactly when they try to phone home so I try to avoid that. Some update checks occur even if the apps aren't running, via launchd scripts, so I suppose really the best way is to install a fresh OS on an external and boot from that for the tests.
Older Apple portables would require both a battery AND AC power to allow the Mac to run at full speed, because the power brick didn't put out enough power. My BTO 2.8 GHz late-'08 MBP was one of these. Nowadays we don't have that restriction and as long as your battery has juice the only thing throttling your Mac is heat.
