Rating of processors of 2013 on productivity

Employees of the laboratory of the computer supermarket NICS tested almost five hundred processors for the PC in order to find the most productive. The test was conducted using five different applications running Windows 7 64-bit. The achievements of each of the samples are expressed as a percentage of the performance of a certain processor, which showed a 100% result in each of the applications.

Based on the results was compiled the 2013 CPU performance rating for , from which we selected the top ten for you.
