CPU benchmarks made using PerformanceTest v6

How does your CPU compare?
Add your CPU to our benchmark chart with PerformanceTest V7!

Price Performance Currently Available

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 reviewed daily. The chart below compares CPU value (performance / price) using the lowest price currently available from our affiliates. Higher results in the chart represent better value in terms of more performance per dollar. The top 50 CPUs in terms of value are graphed for both single CPU systems (typically desktops) and multi-CPU systems (typically servers).
