How to read these scores
Each processor gets seven ratings out of 100: multi-core, gaming, built-in graphics, platform, features, efficiency and value. A buyer profile weights them, and the weighted total is the score. Tiers: S 90+, A 80–89, B 70–79, C 60–69, D below 60. Multi-core and gaming ratings come from core counts, clocks and cache on AMD's and Intel's spec pages. They are not benchmark results, and they do not capture architecture improvements between generations. Read the full method.
