    Hello, i have a strange problem. i have a SVS13A1X9ES, i make a clean installation of windows 8 (uefi boot from usb) and install all the drivers from this page. when i ask to windows to calculate the score of the computer, the cpu take only 4,9 (max value 9,9). the same score will be done in stamina or speed mode. is there something wrong with my model? i have check a SVE1712S1EB and ti realize 5,9....is there some one with my same problem? thank you for the support.

    Is the CPU set to 100% in your power management settings? Click the battery icon in the system tray > advanced settings > CPU
