Your computer’s heartbeat.
Processor performance is measured by its clock speed. The higher the clock speed, the more parallel computing operations the processor can handle. This generates heat, however, so good cooling is essential. Multi-core processors—such as quad-core, hexa-core and octa-core processors—are becoming more and more common as a way to increase performance. The number of cores, which can go well past eight, has become a key criteria for determining processor power and, by extension, computer power. In our online shop, you’ll find a large selection of processors produced by industry leaders.
Criteria for selecting your processor.
Selecting the right processor depends on what you plan to do with your computer. If you’ll be working with video or image-editing software, high-octane processor performance is worth the investment. By contrast, it would be overkill for simple word processing programs or Internet searches. Our Bechtle online shop lets you first select the Intel or AMD processor family you’re interested in, then narrow down your choices using specification filters, such as clock speed, number of CPU cores and the cache. You may also want to indicate your preferred price range to see only those products within your budget.
Services provided with passion and expertise.
Processor performance is influenced not just by clock speed and number of cores, but also by its interaction with many other system components. These include fans and motherboards, which are sometimes offered as product bundles. Our specialists will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have about optimising component configurations. In addition to CPUs, our online shop also offers processor accessories, such as fans. Simply browse the various categories to explore our many options and find the ones that are right for you.
