FAQ
Questions to answer before choosing
Which processor is faster overall?
Use CPU Mark as broad overall context, then check single-thread speed, core count and your actual applications before deciding.
Is the performance difference enough to justify an upgrade?
The score alone is not enough. Price the CPU, motherboard, memory and cooling, then compare that total with the gain in your workload.
Can both processors use the same motherboard?
Check the socket row below. Even when the socket matches, confirm the board support list, BIOS revision and power limits.
