Gaming performance

CPU-bound gaming score: a 1080p rating normalized so the fastest gaming CPU we track = 100. Productivity scores are in the Benchmarks section below.

Gaming scores are normalised performance indexes derived from Tom’s Hardware’s published CPU gaming benchmarks. Performance per dollar is our own calculation on top of that data.
