Top 10 CPU's

Do you guys like lag ? me neither, that's why I am bringing you a list of the top-ten processors in the market which will help you run all your favourite games ! Of course, you would need a good graphics-card too but I'll review them later.
Check out below for the list of the top-ten processors :



Intel Core i7-3770K

First comes the Intel Core i7-3770K as it's power and integrated graphics performance is good enough to run all the latest games with details reduced . It has a significantly increased on-chip 3-D performanceand is also highly overclockable. Another good thing to it is that, it is compatible to many previous-gen mother boards making it a favourite for a person who jus wants to change his processor to play latest games without spending more $$ on changing his motherboard. It also has reduced power usage which would really help you save $$ on your electricity bills. But every good thing has a bad side too, the CPU's performance is only slightly more and increased than the previous i7 processors. It's is from Intel's third-generation lineup which are codenamed "Ivy Bridge" unlike it's predecessors which were codenamed as "Sandy Bridge". I would not discuss further details and will proceed to the next processor in the list.

Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition 

The second in the list is the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition. If you look at the other side of it's high price, this processor offers good performance in heavy-CPU demanding tasks like video-editing and also, it also has a good room-space for overclock which will appeal to most people who want to get more out of their existing processor. It also consist of tons of space for memory and expansion cards and is of the same price of it's predecessor (which is quite high). If you want this in your gaming rig you might wnat to change your mother board as it has the new LGA 2011 socket .

Intel Core i7-2600K 

It speeds up both, multi-threaded and single threaded application with plenty of room for overclocking makes the dream of a gamer come true. It also packs more speed than the previous i-7(s) in this price range. Like the previous  products I reviewed in this list, this processor also contains major overclocking ability. It's also inexpensive for the performance it offers to us but the new chipset requirements means a new motherboard is needed, it has graphics integrated but still is slower than other cheap dedicated cards. 


Intel Core i7-4770K 

This CPU boosts integrated graphics above the i7-3770K while moving places up on benchmarks. It's good for people who are currently building or upgrading their rigs but for those who already have a i7 or an i5 should just wait for more advanced processors to come in the market. It has better CPU performance than mainstream CPU(s) and has been unlocked for better overclocking but is only slightly faster than the previous-generation counterparts and like most other products I've listed, it is also not compatible with older motherboards. 



Intel Core i5-2500K 

The midrange entry in the "Sandy Bridge" series provide good value for the money we pay, this processor offer good performance but you may want to buy a good graphics card to make a great duo with it. It has a very fast performance for the price it offers and has an unlocked multiplier for easy overclocking.

It has new chipset requirement which directly indicate to buying a new socket 1155 motherboard which would cost you only a few extra bucks. It's integrated graphics performance is still low if compared to cheap dedicated 3-D cards.

Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition 

The Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition creates a new limit for media & video editing but also is slightly faster than it's predecessors and also is placed at a hefty price but also contains 12 threads & 6 cores which means amazing speeds for it's supported apps and is faster than any other consumer desktop CPU. But is still a lot expensive and is only a few clicks of speed ahead of the 980X






AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Enough of Intel processors, now comes AMD. It might not be able to beat Intel's Core i7 processors in media & video editing but this budget-beast will surely make budget-conscious PC builders and upgraders a lot happy. The AMD Phenom II Phenom X4 965 Black Edition, in some tests , do beat Intel's expensive - Core i7-920 CPU and is also compatible with older AM2+ motherboards but is still behind the Core i7 in video-editing and other multi-threading apps.  


AMD A10-6700

This isn't the fastest of AMD's APUs but is very close to the top of the lineup as it is very easy to cool, packs good performance and is electricity efficient. It is only slightly slower than the A10-6800K but meets it's demand with much lower power needed and is also compatible with existing Socket FM2 motherboards. All good things apart, it is at the same price at the unlocked A10-6800K and contains only a minor speed boost against the A10-5800K. 



AMD FX-8350 

AMD's new octa-core processor lineup for 2012 has increased performance and nicely designed software which makes use of all of it's cores. It is reasonably priced and shows appreciably increased performance with the use-of multicore optimized software and is also compatible with older AMD sockets and motherboards. After all this improvements, it still lags behind in single core tests and also uses much more power than comparable Intel processor which have on board graphics too. 


 AMD A10-5800K

It has slightly improved performance and double the power of  2011's A8 chip.It has the making to be a good choice for the people who are looking to improve their PC's with a budget. Just to inform you, you guys might need slightly more RAM to get the best out of this APU. The graphics power has also been much improved over the previous models and gives competition to Intel's Core i3 CPU's having integrated graphic. For overclockers, the APU has also been unlocked for better overclocking experience. The new FM2 socket requires a new motherboard and also, CPU performance just didn't get boosted as much as the gaphics performance did.
