About PCEworld

pceworld.com has been registered since 1998. PCEworld is the PC encyclopedia: a fast, honest reference for PC hardware, built to be easy to read and easy to trust.

The name

PC + E for encyclopedia (and for everything, evaluate, explain). The E in the logo is the chip at the centre of it all.

The performance index

Each CPU and GPU has an Atlas index: an editorial estimate of relative performance. CPUs are scaled so the Core i7-2600K is 100, graphics cards so the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is 100. Indexes are only comparable within one kind of part. They are approximate and improve as we add measured data.

Data
