Tom's Hardware Benchmark Charts and Database Updated

Marcus Yam served as Tom's Hardware News Director during 2008-2014. He entered tech media in the late 90s and fondly remembers the days when an overclocked Celeron 300A and Voodoo2 SLI comprised a gaming rig with the ultimate street cred.

    love the new charts! Thanks for all the work!

    In time could you ad a dB rating on things like HDDs? it is an important metric for many people when choosing parts for a system. A spinning idle, and a read/write measurement would be nice.

    __-_-_-__you can always reduce noise to zero. imo it's hardly a choosing factor.reducing noise at the cost of performance is not an option, and some drives are noticeably louder than others, especially in smaller systems where you only have a silent CPU fan, and a silent PSU fan.
