Ever wanted to know exactly where the CPU you were looking at buying fit into the performance spectrum? Want to see how your current one stacks up to the others?

Here it is, folks!

You'll have to zoom in on most resolutions. It's a performance graph of most modern CPU's used in desktops. The scores were reached by averaging the frames per second each CPU attained in Doom 3, Far Cry, and Half-Life 2/Counter-Strike [and then they were divided by 10, but that was only to help me sort them]. I grabbed the data on FPS from Tom's Hardware Guide, but the compositing of data and the graph are my work.

This does NOT take into account media work such as encoding, nor does it take into account synthetic benchmarks, which are honestly sort of silly since they don't show real-world performance in what matters to many: gaming.

Nice to see my AMD Athlon 3700+ San Diego up there...


And, uhh, is this yours?


Because if it is, I'm sorry.

Haha, yeah, I fried my X850XT with what was supposedly "non-conductive" fluid. That's the minor result after turning it on, and it only got worse from there. Long story short is that it was resolved with the company and I got compensation.

Heh, it's kind of funny how AMD just took that whole top section. Even a stock 3200+ can beat out virtually any Intel processor in gaming performance. That's bang for your buck, right there.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

My P4 3.0 did good enough for me.(about 12 on the graph)

Is this updated from the graph you have on halomapscouk?

It sounds like it.
