CPU comparison
I wanted to ask if you could adapt something you covered in one of your previous features that I still really enjoy using to this day. Last year, in the June 2022 issue, you provided a great GPU resource, listing out a ton of GPUs and comparing them with each other on a graph. The two graphs showed one GPU at 1080p and another at 4K. I think it would be a fantastic thing to replicate with Intel/ AMD CPUs along with an updated 2023 list for GPUs.
Doing something like this every six months or so and adding in new equipment as it is launched would be so cool to see. Using that chart was how I decided on what GPU to get to replace my aging GTX 1080. I can’t think of any other place where you could easily get the comparisons on so many products effectively doing the same thing.
Perhaps it could go right before your “Builds” section?

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, GUY COCKER, RESPONDS: I’m glad that even over a year on, Jarred Walton’s feature is still being discussed and referenced. I remember when he pitched the feature thinking, “That sounds like a huge amount of work”.
For those who missed it (digital subscribers can find the issue on Pocketmags), he compared different graphics cards from multiple generations to see how they all compared to each other, exposing which ones were the true greats and which ones were the also-rans. That required a huge amount of testing and data processing from our GPU expert, who does tend to love this kind of stuff, but it was impressive nonetheless.
