Toms Hardware CPU Chart

Are you planning to buy a new computer or cpu, if the answer is yes the new tomshardware guide about cpus called “The Mother of All CPU Charts 2005/2006″ is the right article for you. All in all their compared about 50 cpus ranging from the very old Athlon 1400 Thunderbird to the brand new AMD flagship Athlon 64 FX-57 San Diego. Benchmarks are taken in various fields including of course Open GL and Direct X performance, which is the most important aspect of the test for gamers, to video, audio and application performance.

But thats of course not all, they also discuss some interesting aspects of history including a look at dual core cpus, the amd code name troubles and energy efficiency by performance per watt. The only negative aspect I can find is that they don´t give a recommendation for various user types, which means that the average user will have troubles finding out which cpu would be best suited for him. But normally the average user is not reading articles about cpu charts either, so, take a look and if you find it useful I´am more than happy.
