Verification scope: The builder checks specifications available in this catalog. Case clearance, cooler fit, BIOS revision, PCIe power connectors and regional PSU voltage still require the part manufacturers’ documentation.

Gaming goes
beyond the desktop.

Trace console generations. Compare handhelds. Put the hardware inside your phone into perspective.

Same units. Clear limitations. No invented FPS.

Context is part
of the comparison.

A number is only useful when you know what it measures.

Source before score.

Manufacturer specifications and published measurements are labeled separately. Follow a source from each comparison.

The test matters.

Game, resolution, settings, hardware and test version must match before FPS results can be compared fairly.

Let gaps be gaps.

Unknown measurements stay unavailable. Teraflops and clock speeds are never turned into a universal gaming score.
