/ AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX
As an annual repertoire, the "Desktop Processor Performance List of the Year" has always been a list that has attracted much attention and has its own high popularity. This year's "Annual Desktop Processor Performance List" aims to focus on the desktop processor products with the strongest performance in consumer products, and the establishment of the award is to flaunt the strongest products in the industry and provide purchase reference for the majority of consumers.
Through process upgrades and design structure optimization, new products in the CPU industry have achieved further performance progress and power consumption ratio improvement in the past year. The product that can finally win the "2023 Most Powerful Desktop Processor of the Year" award is bound to be the product with the best performance in terms of performance, which represents the industry's top design and manufacturing strength, and is also a pioneer in the development of the industry.
The relevant evaluation data of the "Annual Desktop Processor Performance List" are collected from November 20, 2022 to December 20, 2023, and the list data formed by testing by the majority of users on the Master Lu client. The total amount of data is about 27 million, which is one of the most valuable data sources in China. There are no less than 1,000 single products on the list, and abnormal high and low scores are eliminated to ensure that the data is authentic and credible.
The products shortlisted for the TOP 5 are also big performers, but it is no surprise that they all come from AMD, they are:
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX
- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX
And the product that finally won the "Most Powerful Desktop Processor of the Year 2023" is the threadripper from AMD - AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is the successor to the previous generation 5995WX, which is a processor with the new Zen 4 core architecture and AMD 5nm process, which has increased the number of cores from 64 cores to 96 cores compared to the previous generation, achieving an ultra-high specification of 96 cores and 192 threads. With a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1GHz, a TDP of 350W, and a L3 cache of up to 384 MB, it finally won the championship with a super high score of 2334785 in Master Lu's desktop processor performance rankings, and also proved that it is the strongest choice for high-end desktops and workstations in 2023.
2023 Annual Performance
The most powerful mobile processor
/ AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D with Radeon Graphics
In the past 2023, the process technology and architecture of mobile processors have also been improved and upgraded, and mobile CPUs have achieved a significant increase in performance without increasing power consumption, and even some performance-level mobile products, workstations, etc., they can even surpass the vast majority of desktop-level CPUs, which is quite exciting.
The 2023 "Annual Mobile Processor Performance List", as the name suggests, aims to focus on the mobile processor products with the strongest performance in consumer products, and the main data comes from the running score data of various notebook products. The establishment of this award is to flaunt the strongest products in the same category in the industry and provide purchase reference for the majority of consumers.
The products on the TOP 5 list are basically the names that have appeared on the configuration list of the current top flagship game laptops, they are:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D with Radeon Graphics
- AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX with Radeon Graphics
- AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX with Radeon Graphics
- Intel 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX
- Intel Core i9-14900HX
In the end, the product that won the crown of "Most Powerful Mobile Processor of the Year 2023" is still the "AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D with Radeon Graphics" from AMD.
As AMD moves the desktop 3DV-Cache technology to the mobile terminal, the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D with Radeon Graphics is the beneficiary of this technology, it is a 16-core 32-thread processor, its core is composed of 2 5nm CCD+1 6nm OD, supports up to 5.4GHz acceleration frequency, and provides a default TDP of more than 55W. Its cache capacity is very large, which is also a major feature of the X3D processor, in which the L2 cache is 16MB, the L3 cache is 64MB, plus the 64MB 3D cache, making the total L2+L3 cache capacity reach 144MB, making it surpass Intel and regain the position of the king of mobile processor performance.
This year can be said to be a year of AMD's full force, not only on the desktop side with "thread ripper" such as "Mars group" members in charge, but also in the field of mobile processors with the decentralization of technology, it has also achieved corner overtaking, I have to say that its own technology can indeed bring more voice to the brand in the industry.
The most popular processor of the year 2023
/ Intel Core i5-13600KF
Although in the PC field, everyone unanimously advocates the supremacy of performance, but in the actual consumption scene, good products and cost-effective products will really be selected, respected and spread by word of mouth. Naturally, sales volume and market share will also increase.
It is precisely because of this concern that Master Lu added the "Most Popular Processor of the Year" list and the "Most Popular Processor of the Year 2023" awards at this year's Bullhorn Tip Awards Ceremony.
The purpose of this list and awards is to focus on the most used processor brands in the market.

FY2023
The most powerful graphics chip
/ 华硕 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
（24 GB）
Since the "mine tide", the famous stalks in the PC circle basically come from the graphics card, and the products that have attracted much attention in the PC circle are also graphics cards. Whether it is a rich brother or a beggar, "graphics card" has become a "sensitive word" in the hearts of PC enthusiasts, but the discussion of the most powerful graphics card has never stopped, whether you can afford it or not, whether you have it or not, "Card Emperor" has long become a belief that cannot be desecrated. And the candidate for the "Card Emperor" seems to have a definite number in the dark.
At this year's Master Lu year-end ceremony, the "annual desktop graphics chip performance list" is still a reserved program, and this list has always focused on the display core with the strongest image performance and the products with the best comprehensive performance. Master Lu's concern is that under the exclusive skills of board manufacturers using the same chip, better materials, stronger technology, and more extreme supporting experience, even if the same display chip is used, there is still a gap in word of mouth.
The data of this desktop graphics card performance list was collected from November 20, 2022 to December 20, 2023, and the list data was formed through the majority of users tested on the Master Lu client.
The products shortlisted for the "Annual Desktop Graphics Card Chip Performance List" TOP 5 are all from famous families, and the plate stacking materials are naturally the best of the best, they are:

But in the final analysis, the performance of a notebook still needs its hardware to support.
The "annual notebook performance list" of the bullhorn tip ceremony,It is a list that pays attention to the ultimate comprehensive performance of notebook products,Notebook products because of their own high degree of integration so that manufacturers can give full play to their optimization capabilities,Even if the same hardware is used,Different brand manufacturers also have considerable differences in the materials and design of fuselage abrasives,There are also completely different strategies in performance release,Consumers feel very different when using it。 The most powerful notebook of 2023 combines the comprehensive scores of the four major performance components of the notebook, CPU, graphics card, memory, and hard disk.
