Year on Year Performance

Updated 10th of February 2025

This graph counts the baselines submitted to us during these
time period and therefore is representative of CPUs tested during this time.
The years are by the calendar year. (i.e. starts January 1st and ends December 31st)
Baselines can be submitted from anywhere therefore these are global
statistics.
This chart only includes CPUs installed into PCs and does not include
game consoles.
Prior to 2021…
- …this chart only includes x86 processors and does not include other chip architectures. ARM processors are included from 2021 onwards.
- …PerformanceTest software only runs on Windows OS and counts on user
  submitting their benchmarks. This chart may be non reflective of non Windows user base before this date. PerformanceTest CPU Tests were Standardized across platforms (Windows, Linux, Mobile) in 2021.
As the chart is updated bi-weekly, but the data point that may change is for the current year. The first few days or weeks of a new year are less accurate compared to the end of a year.
The chart is composed of data from PerformanceTest V5 to the V11. PerformanceTest V8 (released 2012) was the first version to record single thread performance.
