Onze prestatiehiërarchie van CPU-benchmarks rangschikt alle huidige en vorige generatie Intel-en AMD-processors, inclusief alle Beste CPU’s voor gaming, op basis van prestaties. Uw CPU heeft een enorm effect op de algehele prestaties en is voor velen het belangrijkste onderdeel van een computer. CPU-benchmarks helpen ons de verschillen te bepalen, maar als het tijd is om koop een CPU voor je desktop, je vindt een duizelingwekkende verzameling modelnummers en specificaties van zowel Intel als AMD.
We hebben vermeld de beste CPU’s voor gaming en beste processors voor werkstations in andere artikelen, maar als je wilt weten hoe elke chip zich verhoudt tot alle andere en hoe we tot onze beslissingen komen, dan is deze hiërarchie van CPU-benchmarks iets voor jou. We hebben ook een artikel over CPU-prestaties in Cyberpunk 2077.
AMD heeft zijn Ryzen 5000G APU’s die in augustus op de markt komen, maar we hebben het geweer gesprongen en de Ryzen 7 5700G. De sterke geïntegreerde graphics van deze chip kunnen een uitkomst zijn voor gamers die het GPU-tekort willen opvangen, op voorwaarde dat ze hun verwachtingen onder controle houden. We hebben de chip in onze beide standaardrangschikkingen hieronder opgenomen en ook een nieuwe geïntegreerde grafische CPU-benchmarkrangschikking toegevoegd, zodat u kunt zien hoe de chips zich opstapelen ten opzichte van eerdere generatie AMD-chips en Intel’s opstelling. We zullen de Ryzen 5 5600G toevoegen nadat we onze recensie hebben geplaatst.
Deze nieuwe chips bouwen voort op het doorslaande succes van AMD met zijn Zen 3-architectuur. We hebben de volledige Ryzen 5000 line-up in onze CPU-benchmarks, inclusief de Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 9 5950X, 5900X en Ryzen 7 5800X , samen met alle eerdere versies van Zen 3, Zen+ en Zen 1 van die chips.
Intel’s 11e generatie Rocket Lake-S CPU’s bevinden zich in de andere hoek, geleid door de Intel Core i9-11900K en Core i5-11600K die de concurrentiepositie van Intel hebben verbeterd. Als gevolg van zijn solide prestaties en AMD’s aanhoudende chiptekorten, is de Core i5-11600K nu onze Beste CPU voor gamen. De Core i5-11400 is de verborgen ster van Intel’s nieuwe line-up. AMD heeft geen antwoord op deze chip aan de onderkant van zijn prijsklasse-sterker nog, de Core i5-11400 worstelt met de twee jaar oude Ryzen 5 3600.
Als je Intel wilt zien en AMD’s belangrijkste modellen staan tegenover elkaar in onze CPU-benchmarks, bekijk deze artikelen:
AMD wordt geplaagd door chiptekorten, maar het zit niet stil — Op Computex 2020 kondigde het bedrijf aan dat het nieuwe Zen 3-aangedreven Ryzen-modellen op de markt die bewapend zullen worden met zijn nieuwe 3D V-Cache-technologie. Deze techniek stapelt L3-cache bovenop de compute-die, waardoor een verbijsterende 192 MB cache per chip mogelijk is om tot 15% meer prestaties bij gaming te bieden. De eerste chips gaan aan het einde van het jaar in productie.
We zullen uitleggen hoe we de processors onder elke tabel hebben gerangschikt. De ranglijst voor het testen van games staat op de eerste plaats. We nemen ook een prestatiestatistiek voor applicaties op in onze applicatiescoretabellen, die we hebben opgesplitst in metingen met één en meerdere threads (onder de speeltafel). De krachtigste chip krijgt een 100 en alle andere worden in verhouding daarmee gescoord. Als je onze aanbevelingen voor specifieke prijsklassen wilt, bekijk dan onze Beste CPU’s voor gaming-pagina.
We zijn druk bezig ons volledige arsenaal aan processors opnieuw te testen met een nieuwere versie van Windows 10 om de prestaties van onze CPU-benchmarks te meten. Als zodanig worden chips zonder score gerangschikt volgens hun eerdere rangschikking met onze oudere CPU-benchmarks-testsuite. We zullen specifieke metingen voor die chips toevoegen naarmate onze CPU-benchmarktests doorgaan.
CPU-benchmarks en prestatiehiërarchiegrafieken
We rank all the Intel and AMD processors in the tables below, but we don’t include overclock ed performance or 99th percentile fps rankings. You can see all of those numbers in the charts above. We’ve also added separate charts for integrated graphics testing.
Bear in mind that the charts above use the raw performance numbers, whereas our CPU benchmarks rankings below use a score to rank the chips relative to one another. Admittedly, the charts are getting a bit packed as we expand our rankings pool, but we’ll work to separate this out into different classes as our CPU benchmarks database grows.
This group of results also only include the chips that have passed through our newest test suite. The pricing represents MSRPs, but given the chip shortage, you likely won’t find many of these chips at these prices at retail.

*indicates an APU tested with a discrete GPU. Note: These types of processors are geared for performance with integrated graphics-please see individual reviews or our section below for those performance rankings.
We’ve ranked all the consumer Intel 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th, and 7th Gen processors, along with AMD’s Ryzen and Threadripper chips from all four generations. We have two rankings for each chip, based on 1080p and 1440p CPU gaming benchmarks, but the chart is aligned sequentially based on the 1080p game results. The 1440p listings aren’t listed in sequential order due to the unfortunate limitations with our tables. Pay attention to the 1440p rankings: Some faster chips at 1440p CPU benchmarks may be listed below slower chips simply because of the 1080p results.
We measured performance for the 1080p CPU gaming benchmarks with a geometric mean of Borderlands 3, Hitman 2, Far Cry 5, Project CARS 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. We measured performance for the 1440p CPU gaming benchmarks with a geometric mean of Borderlands 3, Project CARS 3, Far Cry 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
As you can see, AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X take the slimmest of leads over Intel’s flagship Core i9-11900K in 1080p, but the Core i9-11900K takes the lead at 11440p, meaning these chips are very closely matched. Also, check out those CPU benchmarks performance deltas between the previous-gen Ryzen processors and the 5000 series, and between the 10th-Gen Comet Lake and 11th-Gen Rocket Lake. That’s impressive and comes as the byproduct of a heated competition for gaming supremacy. Enthusiasts are surely benefiting.
Most folks overlook the incredible power efficiency of the Zen 3 processors, but that equates to a faster, cooler, and quieter system that doesn’t require super-expensive cooling solutions. Take note of the TDP divide in our charts-it’s surprising. Check out our review for more in-depth power testing.

We calculate the above single-threaded CPU benchmarks rankings based on a geometric mean of Cinebench, POV-Ray, and LAME. The latter consists of two tests: One short duration test and one extended-duration test to measure performance once Intel’s boost duration limits have been exceeded.
Single-threaded performance is often tied directly to the responsiveness and snappiness of your PC in any number of daily applications, like loading an operating system or surfing the web. This metric largely depends upon a mixture of instruction per cycle (IPC) throughput (the number of operations the chip can execute in one clock cycle) and frequency, which is the speed at which the transistors switch between on and off states.
However, a whole host of other considerations, such as cache, architecture, and interconnects (like rings, meshes, and infinity fabric) impact this measure of per-core performance, so these results do not align perfectly based upon clock frequency. Instead, performance varies with each application and how well it is tuned for the respective architectures.
With all that said, the CPU benchmarks delta between Intel’s flagship Core i9-10900K and the Ryzen 5000 processors was incredible-at worst, Ryzen 5000 was 10% faster in single-threaded performance. The paradigm has changed, though, as the Core i9-11900K takes a convincing 5% lead over AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X to take the lead in our single-threaded hierarchy. Rocket Lake’s Cypress Cove architecture has proven to be beastly in single-threaded work, but we don’t see those same gains translate over to gaming performance.

The multi-threaded workload column is based on CPU benchmarks performance in Cinebench, POV-ray, vray, Blender (four tests-Koro, Barcellona, Classroom, bmw27), y-cruncher, and Handbrake x264 and x265 workloads. These CPU benchmarks represent performance in productivity-focused applications that tend to require more compute horsepower.
Like we see with single-threaded performance metrics, multi-threaded performance, which is a measure of a chip’s performance in applications that utilize multiple software threads, varies based upon a whole host of architectural factors. It also depends heavily upon how well the software scales with additional compute cores. As such, these results do not align perfectly based upon core/thread count, though it does serve as a decent litmus of multi-threaded performance.
Be aware that architectures, caches, and interconnects profoundly impact these results, as all of these factors impact how well performance scales with additional threads. Performance rarely scales perfectly with the addition of more cores/threads, so the scaling factor of each processor architecture weighs in heavily on the value proposition of going with a higher core count processor.
It’s noteworthy that both Ryzen 5000 chips beat out Intel’s 18-core 32-thread Core i9-10980XE, and the Ryzen 9 5900X only comes with 12 cores. Again, pay attention to TDP-the Ryzen chips have a 105W ranking while Intel is specced at 165W.
Intel’s Rocket Lake chips weigh in with a slight generational gain with the Core i9-11900K over the previous-gen Core i9-10900K, but we’re looking at a ~3% gain. That is impressive given that the 11900K comes with two fewer cores, but it doesn’t do much to change the CPU benchmark pecking order relative to AMD’s Ryzen 5000 chips. The Core i5-11600K is a solid chip, though: It boosts multi-threaded performance by 6% over its predecessor, the Core i5-10600K.

Legacy Desktop CPU Benchmarks Hierarchy
Recognizing that a lot of older platforms are going to be paired with graphics subsystems multiple generations old, we wanted to define the top of our range to encourage balance between host processing and complementary GPUs. At this point, anyone with a Sandy Bridge-based Core i7 would realize a gain from stepping up to Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake, for example. And putting AMD’s top FX CPUs next to a handful of Core i7s and those older Core i5s represents an upgrade to their status.
Currently, our hierarchy consists of 13 total tiers. The bottom half of the chart is largely outdated; you’ll notice those CPUs dragging down performance in the latest games, regardless of the graphics card installed in your PC. If you own a CPU in that range, an upgrade could really take your experience to another level.
Really, it’s the top five tiers or so that remain viable. And in that top half of the chart, an upgrade is typically worthwhile if it’s a least a couple of tiers higher. Otherwise, there’s just not enough improvement to warrant the expense of a fresh CPU, motherboard and RAM (not to mention the graphics card and storage solution you’d be considering as well).
