How the ranking works

Every processor here has a gaming index where the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 100. The index is our estimate of how fast the chip is in games at 1080p, where the processor, not the graphics card, sets the frame rate. It is not a measure of video editing or rendering speed, where core count matters far more.

Desktop and laptop processors are listed separately. Laptop chips run at lower power and clock speeds, so a laptop Core i7 is usually well below a desktop Core i7 of the same generation.

How to use the table

Open a processor for its specifications, which graphics cards it can feed, and similar chips to compare it with. Use CPU comparison to compare two chips, best GPU for your CPU to pick a matching card, or the CPU tier list for the same ranking grouped from S to E tier.

Questions

What does the gaming index mean?

It is our estimate of how fast a processor is in games at 1080p, scaled so that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 100. It measures gaming, not video editing or rendering, where core count matters more.

Why are laptop processors listed separately?

They run at lower power and clock speeds than desktop chips, so a laptop Core i7 is usually well below a desktop Core i7 of the same generation.

Why is my processor missing?

Tell us with the small i button on the Can I run it page, and we add it in the next weekly update. Until then, pick a chip from the same generation and tier.
