Silicon Ladder
From Core 2 Duo to RTX 5090: where every generation of silicon stands
A consumer hardware ladder: 352 entries across CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage and PSUs, covering 2007 to 2025. Desktop, laptop and iGPU are always ranked in separate pools, and same-name laptop GPUs are split by TGP rather than lumped together. Overall is only the default sort — switch to gaming, single-core, multi-core, efficiency or value and the ladder re-sorts instantly; pick up to four items to compare side by side, with a warning when form factors are mixed. The relative-score formula, per-pool weights and their rationale, how older hardware is anchored and estimated, and how missing values are handled are all written up on the methodology page. A static site: the data is JSON in the repo, no scraping, no ads, no affiliate links.
