I've included several different values that people may find interesting when comparing two companies. They are divided as follows:
- Average Performance
- Average Price
- Average Performance to Price Ratio - The average number of Passmark points per dollar
- Best Component - The best performing component that the company offers
- Selection - The number of chips that the company offers. Keep in mind that selection is only from Newegg, which means that only chips that are somewhat modern are included in this statistic.
The pricing information comes from
Newegg and the performance information comes from
Passmark. This information also updates once every ten hours. The time until the next update is:
Average Performance:

Average Price:

Average Perf/Price ratio:

Selection:
