CPU Price/Performance

O.K, I have used some of the information given in the Google spreadsheet made by garyjpaterson in order to compile another spreadsheet showing the price of each of the CPUs and their respective performance, not only this but it shows how many pounds it costs per MBeam/s.

This might be useful to those looking to buy a new CPU and wish to see how well it performs for the money and make a judgement from there.

The most value oriented CPU so far is the AMD FX-8350 (there are others that supposedly have a better result but they were poor performers that just happened to be cheap.)
The 8350 can be seen in two variations in the spreadsheet due to over-clocking, the over-clocked CPU obviously performing better.

All credit for the benchmark and CPU details is given to garyjpaterson and this forum: BANANA-Benchmark-Results-Comparison
Literally all I did was research the price and divide it by the Mbeams/s result.

Hope this helps, Robert.

£13.99 for my processor...in its day it was a £150 processor....6 years ago...how time flies!

 

Well if I'm honest that one was a used price because i wanted to stick to using Amazon for the prices so its most likely worth more than that
