This Tech Report review analyzes current CPUs from cheap to expensive to determine overall value. They also considered overall system value when doing the calculation, my like my own CPU electricity value analysis. I think they used more expensive components across-the-board than is quite realistic to consider (raising the value of performance), but they reached [...]
