How To Improve CPU Performance
COMPUTING
In short, a CPU or central processing unit is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the calculations of a computer program.
When consumers attempt to speed up their PC, the CPU is one of the ‘go-to’ components as there are a few relatively quick fixes.
Let’s take a look at some of the best performance upgrades for a CPU:
CPU Cooling
Although the gains might not be instant, the cooling of your CPU is extremely important if you want to get the most out of it and prolong its lifespan. An overheated CPU can result in your PC operating much slower than normal, shutting down or even damaging components.
You’ve got two options if you’re looking to cool your CPU. First up is air cooling which consists of fans being placed around the internals of your PC. Then we’ve got liquid cooling which consists of pipes filled with cool water running around within the case of your PC.
In the world of PC building, liquid cooling is only really carried out by those who’ve built a few PC’s so take that into account when choosing your cooling method.
We’d recommend you to have a go at air cooling before moving onto the more complex and more expensive liquid cooling.

Secret Processor Trick
This trick should work if you are using Windows Vista or later.
1. Type ‘msconfig‘ into the Start Menu search box or RUN dialog box and press Enter.
2. Now go to the ‘Boot‘ tab and click on ‘Advanced Options‘.
3. Enable ‘Number of Processors:‘ option and select the correct no. of processors from drop-down list.
4. Click on the ‘OK‘ button and then ‘Apply‘ it.
5. It’ll require a restart and after reboot you’ll notice improvement in system performance.
Overclocking
One of the more complicated ways to get increased performance from your CPU is to overclock it.
Overclocking is where you push your computers components harder and faster than the manufacturers intended them to go. And whilst it can most definitely speed up your system, it can often be quite complicated.
For example, overclocking an Intel Core i7 860 that normally runs at around 2.80GHz out the box can mean that you get well over 2.80GHz out of it.
Manufacturers tend to be conservative with their ‘out-of-the-box’ clock speeds to ensure that the CPUs do not overheat for the average consumer. However, if you know what you are doing and have the correct cooling methods in place, overclocking will not pose as a problem.
Each individual CPU is different regardless of whether they are the same model number from a manufacturer. It can sometimes be the case that whilst one person’s CPU will overclock to a certain GHz, another person’s might not be able to get anywhere near that speed. Definitely worth keeping in mind if you’ve seen someone overclock your CPU to a certain speed.
If you’re intending on overclocking your CPU, then take into account that you might need to upgrade other components.
Overclocking will ultimately give you a decent boost in performance, especially if you edit lots or photos or do a lot of video transcribing.
For full instructions on how to overclock your CPU then refer to guides from your manufacturer.

Laptop CPU Performance in Cinebench R23
This is my collection of Cinebench R23 single and multi core scores from my laptop reviews. You can use this benchmark data to get an idea of the CPU performance to expect from a particular laptop / mobile processor.
- All laptops were tested while plugged into wall power for best performance.
- The highest performance mode available through the laptop’s control panel software was used for best results.
- No manual overclocking or undervolting has been done here, consider all results stock.
- Multi core scores are 3x 10 minute runs averaged together and represent a worst case after CPU boost periods expire. Higher scores are possible if you just run one single test.
The table is sorted from highest to lowest multi core score by default, however you can click the table headings to sort how you like.
You can click on any laptop to check current pricing. These are affiliate links, purchases may compensate me and help support my independent testing and reviews.

Rating of the best processors in terms of price / performance ratio
This article was written by a visitor to the site and rewarded for it.
There is a wide variety of processors on the market, and looking at them, sometimes eyes widen. Hundreds of positions generate so much information that even seasoned enthusiasts fall into an endless cycle of choosing the optimal CPU in terms of price / performance ratio.
Method of analysis
recommendations
The method of choosing a processor consists in studying an array of processor performance results in the multi-threaded synthetic benchmark «Passmark», and then comparing them.
Let’s discard exotic and outdated options in advance, and also take into account only those that are currently on sale in the store with three letters. In addition, only options without an integrated video core will be included in the selection, if they exist for a specific model. Also, only OEM versions of processors will be taken. Both of the above points directly increase the price / performance ratio. After sorting the results, the following picture was obtained.
Rating of processors in terms of «price / performance»
As you can see, the most preferred purchase is the Core i3-12100F. The Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is significantly slower in single thread and requires a rare and expensive motherboard with a TR4 socket, which completely kills the point of buying it.
FX-4300 is too slow for today’s «heavy» software. The Ryzen 3600 is almost the same in multi-threading as the 12100F, but more expensive and much slower in single-threading.
The Pentium Gold G7400 and Celeron G6900 seem to be great processors, especially considering their integrated graphics. This is true if you intend to use them as plugs for a high-end motherboard in anticipation of the 13th generation of Intel.
It is better to add and purchase a more «sane» Core i3-10100F, which will be enough for the vast majority of tasks for the next couple of years. «People’s six-core», Core i5-12400F, Ryzen 5600G and Ryzen 5600X are pretty close to each other, and you can give preference to anyone that you like more.
The Core i5-11400F is slower and more expensive, and therefore only suitable for those who want to «upgrade» a system with an LGA 1200 socket.
If the Core i3-12100F is the best budget processor, the Ryzen 5900X is the best high-performance processor for the money, with twelve full cores for the price of eight from Intel. The Ryzen 5950X isn’t that great in this regard, as the price gap between it and the 5900X is just too big, and the extra four cores aren’t worth the extra money.
Subsequent processors have a mediocre price / performance ratio and fall mainly into three categories: declining remnants of previous generations, top i7 and i9, AMD with integrated graphics. The former will be bought out by the owners of obsolete systems, the latter have never been cheap, and in the latter, obviously, the overpayment is for a relatively fast integrated GPU.
The Core i9-12900KS trails behind the rankings, with a price tag twice that of the Ryzen 5950X.
The Core i9-12900KS should definitely not be taken by those who, when building a PC, are going to squeeze the maximum performance out of every ruble spent.
The LGA 2066 platform came second from the bottom. For a typical home PC, their purchase is meaningless, since the aforementioned Ryzen 59The 00X is almost on par with the highest-performing Core i9-10940X in terms of performance, but is three times cheaper than it, and does not require a super-expensive motherboard. It is likely that the «upgrade» to Cascade Lake-X will be the principal «telovod», the owners of existing platforms with processors of the Skylake-X and Skylake-X Refresh families, using a PC for work.
Closes the list of a couple of more modern Threadrippers used as «number crushers» for highly parallelized tasks. Where the goal is to minimize the calculation time, the cost of the solution goes by the wayside.
Based on the results, we can say that the most optimal purchase for a typical budget PC at the moment is the Core i3-12100F.
Combined with an inexpensive motherboard purchased from an online four-letter store, it beats all processors in a whole combination of parameters: performance, cost, power consumption and heat dissipation. Ryzen 5900X. At the same time, you do not lose in the speed of one thread, since it is the same as that of the Core i3-12100F. As for motherboards, many of them, based on the B450 chipset, have good VRM and cost the same as the budget ones for the Core i3-12100F. The only thing is that for the Ryzen 5900X you will have to look for better cooling.

List-table of Intel Core Socket LGA 1700 processors
The LGA 1700 platform replaced the LGA 1200 in 2021.
LGA 1700 has two types of cores:
1) «P» — fast, high-performance cores, logically divided into two threads.
2) «E» — cores — less fast, energy efficient, do not have logical division.
In total, two generations of processors were released for the LGA 1700 socket:
1) More modern, built on the 10nm Raptor Lake architecture;
2) Older, built on 10nm Alder Lake architecture.
CPUMark — processor performance rating in points. It can be used to roughly compare the capabilities of different models. The rating is the same for all generations of AMD and Intel processors.
