Price Performance All-Time

This chart comparing the price performance of CPUs is made using thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and pricing pulled from various retailers. Benchmark results and pricing is updated daily. The chart below compares CPU value (performance / price) using the lowest price seen at out from our affiliates. Higher results in the chart represent better value in terms of more performance per dollar. The top 100 CPUs in terms of value are graphed for both single CPU systems (typically desktops) and multi-CPU systems (typically servers). The chart below compares CPU Price Performance using the last seen price for the CPU. This may include CPUs that are no longer on the market.
