Buying gaming hardware in South Africa can be a daunting task. The exchange rate and local pricing can cause product value to vary relative to international standards.<\/p>\n

If you’re building or upgrading a performance-oriented gaming rig, chances are you’ll want to include an Intel CPU capable of handling modern games.<\/p>\n

We’ve collected the pricing and performance data for a wide range of Intel gaming processors and calculated a value score measured in performance per rand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Performance is measured by an individual processor’s PassMark Score<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Because we want to depict an accurate difference in performance per rand, we have used pricing from a single source in order to avoid discrepancies in value score.<\/p>\n

Pricing data is taken from Rebeltech<\/strong> <\/a>and is accurate\u00a0at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
