Mobile CPU Charts 2007
Tom's Interactive Mobile CPU Charts focus on popular mobile processors, which are used in laptops and notebooks because of their increased energy efficiency. We tested nine AMD and Intel processors tested across 15 different benchmarks using Windows XP. Core 2 Duo is the dominating processor in the notebook/laptop space and AMD's Turion 64 X2 has become a budget option. However, all of these dual core processors deliver sufficient performance for mainstream applications. The Price/Performance Index relates US$ costs to the overall performance.
Desktop CPU Charts Q1/2008
The interactive CPU Charts provide a true performance comparison between AMD and Intel processors. They allow ambitious users as well as decision makers and dealers to compare their favorite products in 20+ benchmark disciplines. In addition, the price/performance index enables you to find the best performance for your buck. The charts have several unique features: - Select your desired benchmark. - Select two processor models, which will be highlighted on your results page. - Check out the absolute and relative performance difference between selected models at the bottom of the page. - Click on any bar within the chart to receive the test configuration.
