Market Leaders: CPU Rankings

The processor is the most important detail of any computer or laptop. It depends very much on him, so it is necessary to approach his choice thoroughly. The rating of processors is needed to help even those who do not understand modern technologies at all. The rating includes only the best and tested models, which will accurately last long and high quality. Naturally, and their price is not too small - but they are worth it.

How to choose your own processor?

It should be noted that the rating of processors includes two best firms for their production. Firms produce goods similar in quality, and because of this constantly compete with each other, releasing more and more new models. The name of these two giant companies - Intel and AMD, for sure, everyone has heard about them many times. And, choosing a processor, you will also have to choose from these two companies, based on your own wishes. By the way, it is worth noting that Intel occupies the highest position in the processor rating, and the models of this company are significantly more expensive.

Next comes the price category - there are three of them among the processors - the higher, the middle and the lower ones. Processors from the highest price category will be interested in experienced gamers and mathematicians (such a power is required for solving mathematical equations), medium ones are suitable for a home computer, the lower one for an office computer and the simplest tasks. In simpler terms, the higher the price, the higher the processor's power, and hence its capabilities.

Further, the rating of processors from different price categories directly follows.

The highest price category (top 5)

As it was written above, such expensive processors are ideal for games and complex mathematical calculations.

1. Core i7-4960x is Intel's most modern and versatile processor. Turning to its use, you do not even have to change your motherboard. There is a common cache of the third level, the volume of which is 15 megabytes. Implemented in this solution and 22-nanometer technology. With all the advantages that arise from the technical characteristics, we can not but rejoice the price of the device, because we are talking about a full-fledged six-core processor.
Approximate price: 37 000 rubles.

2. Core i7-3930k - an excellent gaming processor.
Number of cores: 6.
Approximate price: 19 500 rubles.

3. Core i7-4770k. The basis in this case is the 22-nm Haswell microarchitecture.
Approximate price: 12 000 rubles.

4. Model name: Core i7-4771.
Number of cores: 4.
Approximate price: 11 500 rubles.

5. Model name: AMD FX-9590.
Number of cores: 8.
Approximate price: 11 000 rubles.

Average price category (top 3)

The rating of processors of notebooks and computers of an average price category will be especially useful for those who choose a model for exclusively home use.

1. Model name: AMD FX-8350.
Number of cores: 8.
Approximate price: 6 500 rubles.

2. Model name: Core i5-4670.
Number of cores: 4.
Approximate price: 7 500 rubles.

3. Model name: Core i5-3570.
Number of cores: 4.
Approximate price: 7,000 rubles.

CPU rating: lower price category (top 3)

Processors of the lower price category are best suited for offices.

1. Model name: AMD FX-6350.
Number of cores: 6.
Approximate price: 4 500 rubles.

2. Model name: AMD FX-6300.
Number of cores: 6.
Approximate price: 4 000 rubles.

3. Model name: Core i3-4340.
Number of cores: 2.
Approximate price: 5 500 rubles.

Power in the small: the rating of mobile processors

Among other things, there are also mobile processors, which must also be selected responsibly. Mobile processors are designed for tablet computers and smartphones. To date, such models are amazing with their power, despite the rather compact size. Rating mobile processors - a separate big topic, but it is worth noting that the most powerful of all at the moment is the Core i7-3920QX.
