CPU benchmarks
- PASSMARKSingle- and multi-thread CPU performance scores from cpubenchmark.net. Used as the headline benchmark in our CPU index.
- MANUFACTURERCores, threads, base/boost clocks, L3 cache, TDP, socket, memory channels — all from official AMD and Intel datasheets.
GPU benchmarks
- TECHPOWERUPVRAM size, bandwidth, base/boost clocks, FP32 TFLOPS, ray-tracing tier, DLSS/FSR support — from TechPowerUp's GPU database.
- PASSMARKUsed for cross-checking GPU performance via videocardbenchmark.net.
Per-game FPS
- TECHPOWERUPPer-game FPS measurements at 1080p / 1440p / 4K across various presets, sourced from TechPowerUp game-review benchmarks.
- HAND-CURATEDTop-50 most-searched parts are manually verified against multiple review sources before being marked as data-quality 5 (human-verified).
Data quality scoring
Every part in our database carries a 1–5 data-quality score that reflects how thoroughly its specs have been verified:
- 5Hand-verified against manufacturer datasheets and at least two independent reviews.
- 4All major fields parsed cleanly from a primary source (TPU/PassMark).
- 3Most fields present; one or two minor specs estimated.
- 2Several fields missing; estimates used for headline metrics.
- 1Sparse data — useful for rough comparisons only.
The user-facing confidence score on every calculator result is derived from the average data-quality of the inputs.
