CPU Tiers

Ranking CPUs from Most Powerful to Least

Finding the right CPU depends on your apps and games. This page ranks processors by tier using percentiles from modern benchmark workloads (e.g., Cinebench R23), giving you a fast starting point.

We focus on CPUs from roughly the last seven years. Results are approximate and vary by workload.
