How is Bang for the Buck calculated? We take the Performance (Normalized Combined Geekbench) score and divide that by the MSRP (or now the Market Price if available to make comparison shopping fun!).
Normalized Combined Geekbench Scores* Across SOC Generations
When and if there are binned and non-binned variants of the same chip in our database, we will average them out here. This graph is refreshed automatically whenever there is an update to our database.
