About

Hardware selection determines the ceiling of system performance. This tool utilizes a normalized dataset of synthetic benchmarks (PassMark, Cinebench approximations) to quantify the delta between Central Processing Units. Unlike standard comparison tables, this engine focuses on Architecture Efficiency and Cost-to-Performance ratios.

Key metrics analyzed include:

IPC & Clock Speed: Critical for active foreground tasks and gaming.
Core/Thread Density: Determines parallel throughput for rendering and compilation.
Thermal Efficiency: W_perf metric indicating performance per watt.

Use the Value Calculator to input real-time local pricing. This derives the P/$ (Points per Dollar) coefficient, stripping away marketing hype to reveal pure mathematical value.

Formulas

We utilize the Weighted Performance Index (WPI) to determine the overall winner based on the user's scenario (Gaming vs. Workstation).

WPI_game = (SC × 0.7) + (MC × 0.2) + (Cache × 0.1)

To calculate the Price-Performance Ratio (R), we use:

R = Score_multiPrice + Cost_cooler

Where Cost_cooler is an estimated penalty for high-TDP chips requiring liquid cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Intel's hybrid architecture uses P-Cores (Performance) for heavy tasks like gaming and E-Cores (Efficiency) for background tasks. AMD typically uses identical full-performance cores, though this is changing with newer architectures.

Most software interfaces, web browsing, and importantly, many game engines, rely heavily on a single primary thread. A CPU with 6 fast cores often outperforms a CPU with 20 slow cores in these tasks.

Not always, but in gaming, it reduces latency significantly. AMD's "X3D" chips use 3D V-Cache to triple the L3 cache, providing massive frame rate boosts in simulation-heavy games despite lower clock speeds.

TDP (Thermal Design Power) is the minimum heat dissipation required. However, modern CPUs often boost far beyond this. An Intel "125W" chip can draw 253W+, and an AMD "170W" chip can draw 230W+.

Multi-Core score is paramount for rendering (exporting). However, "QuickSync" (Intel) or strong iGPU performance can accelerate the live timeline scrubbing experience.
