CPUs, Motherboards & Performance

At Zyrox, our CPU and platform coverage is led by an editor who has spent more than a decade building, benchmarking, and stress-testing PCs. Coverage focuses on real-world performance rather than marketing claims, with an emphasis on giving readers the information they need to make confident decisions about their next platform. Articles in this department are produced with a standard test methodology: identical memory timings, fresh Windows installations, current chipset drivers, and at least three runs per benchmark to filter out single-run noise. Where manufacturer claims do not match observed results, the difference is called out in the article.
