Processors.

Every processor we can source. What each one is designed to do.

Manufacturer specifications for 218 processors, with comparisons between them. What a chip holds once cooling becomes the limit is the question that decides how a machine feels.

Processor specifications, checked and compared

This is the SystemCheck processor catalogue: manufacturer specifications for 218 processors (cores, threads, base and boost clocks, cache and rated power), each sheet checked against a published source, with 793 side-by-side comparisons between close rivals. 138 are desktop parts and 80 are laptop parts. The wider catalogue holds 1,737 records; the other 1,519 stay out of the index until their sheets are complete enough to publish. A figure we could not verify reads "Not verified" rather than a guess.

There are three ways to use it. Search for your processor below to read its full sheet and its sources. Open a published comparison when you are choosing between two processors, or use the picker further down for any pair we have not published. Or, if you already own the machine, skip the sheet and run the free 3-minute browser test, which loads the processor, memory and graphics in turn and records what each delivers the whole way through.

A specification sheet describes what a processor is designed to do. Two machines with the same part can behave very differently once their cooling and power settings come into play, and no sheet records either. That is why every processor page here ends with what the sheet cannot tell you, and why the test measures the machine rather than the model number.

Questions

  • From manufacturer specifications. Each processor page lists the sources its figures were checked against, and any value we could not check renders as "Not verified" instead of being filled in from elsewhere.

Every figure on a specification sheet is a design target. None of it is a measurement.

Nothing above describes how a processor behaves twenty minutes into a sustained workload, which is where two chips with nearly identical specifications routinely diverge. A boost clock is a ceiling the vendor permits, not a rate the chip sustains, and whether it holds depends on the cooling, the case, the power profile and the room. None of those appear on a specification sheet.

We deliberately do not reduce these figures to a single score. A composite invented from specifications would look authoritative and measure nothing, and choosing the weights would be choosing the winner.
