Single-core scores describe one thread; multicore scores describe aggregate CPU throughput. These results do not establish which CPU is faster in every application. Compare platform support and total upgrade cost before buying.

AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS lists FP7 FP7r2; Intel Core i7-13650HX lists FCBGA1964. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements. If the required platform changes, include motherboard, memory and cooling costs; the CPU price alone is not the full upgrade cost.

Sources and data freshness

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.

Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
