2nd pass where things get more threaded, 2600k does 36 or so, 980x does 48, and BD scores 45 here.
Probably using all threads and can't consistently turbo, and pass 2 favors Intel a bit more.

EDIT:
Also wins in Fritz.

2600k - 13,017 // 12834 (another source)
2600k at 5.2 - 19288
870 - 11,995 // 875k does 12450
980x - 12,733
1100T - 11,219

BD - 14197

FriTz for a 980 is is > 18000... looks like you took your score from some site that was doing a thread for thread comparison.
