Chip 20091201 Scan02 Desktop and Mobile CPUs

(click on image for full view)

My most favourite gadget of all time is the desktop PC simply because it is so open. Sadly the architecture of the desktop PC being open is one thing, making use of its openness is quite another. 95% people do have the time to actually fuss over the various components that should go into building their PC and yet only about 5% are seen to do so. Maybe because the system is set up that way.

So in such a system when I see a table like this, I understandably go berserk. It is crazy. Actually it is beyond crazy. First select the top 100 processors from the jungle out there. Then measure their performance from every angle then calculate a weighted index, and finally work out the price performance ratio. Fussing over becomes super easy.

For Desktop PCs, the top CPUs are AMD Athlon II X2 250, Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300, AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE, AMD Phenom II X4 620 and Intel Core i5-750. For Laptops, the top CPUs are Intel Core 2 Duo P8700, Intel Core i7-720 QM and Intel Pentium Dual Core T3400.
