"Build to perform. Designed to win". Launched 25 November of 2019, this mighty 24 core 48 thread CPU boasts 88 PCIe 4.0 lanes (16 lanes used for high-speed interconnect, 176 PCIe 3.0 lanes effective), 142.25MB of cache, 3.8GHz base and 4.5GHz max boost clock with 280W effective TDP. This CPU competes well with entire of Intel HEDT and Xeon lineup thanks to unprecedented single core performance and insane multi core performance compared to all Intel HEDT CPUs. The new Threadripper 3000 series CPU is (in my opinion) classified as the Extreme High End Desktop (EHEDT) CPU as this CPU has both very high single core and multi core performance, high amount of PCIe lanes and L3 cache and clearly very high price (this CPU costs $1399.99 at launch) which ranks them above HEDT.

The AMD FX-8150 is the earliest eight core variant in AMD's flagship FX series. The FX-8150 was released in October 2011 and at that time it superseded the Phenom 1100T. Comparing the 1100T and FX-8150 shows that the newer FX-8150 has roughly the same single and dual core speed but, thanks to its extra two cores, pulled ahead of its predecessor by 15% in multi-core tests. The performance improvements over the 1100T are accompanied by an improved manufacturing process which reduced lithography from 45 to 32 nanometres; consequently both processors have the same maximum TDP of 125 Watts. Thanks to its eight cores the FX-8150 has strong multi-core performance but its single-core core speeds are still relatively weak compared to similarly priced Intel chips. [Mar '14CPUPro]
We calculate effective speed which measures real world performance for typical users. Effective speed is adjusted by current prices to yield a value for money rating. Our calculated values are checked against thousands of individual user ratings. The customizable table below combines these factors to bring you the definitive list of top CPUs. [CPUPro]
