Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside!

Professional Applications

Professional application benchmarks show us a familiar picture. Intel’s Sandy Bridge-E-based Core i7-3930K and Core i7-3960X are in the front, followed by Intel’s Ivy Bridge-, Sandy Bridge-, and Nehalem-based offerings. 

AMD's FX-8170 and FX-8150, based on Bulldozer, come closest to Intel's offerings, but can't quite compete.
