CPU Performance by Socket Type

This chart comparing the single thread performance of CPUs is based on the average PerformanceTest benchmark results from millions of machines and is updated daily. It focuses exclusively on single-threaded performance, meaning each CPU is assessed based on its ability to perform a single task at a time.

  • CPU Sockets is the connector on the motherboard to which the CPU connects to and they determine which CPUs are compatible with which motherboards.
  • While a CPU may fit a certain socket type, it is best to refer to the motherboard's datasheet to determine if it supported.
  • Intel socket names typically refers to the number of pins of the socket/CPU.
  • Sockets below are broken down by platform and are arranged from oldest to newest. The year the socket was introduced is listed underneath the socket name. Click on a socket name to see the CPUs that can be used with that socket type.
