Factorio CPU benchmarks & rankings
The best CPU for Factorio depends on the factory and game version. Compare results on the same map and version; pooled results across different workloads are not a like-for-like CPU ranking.
UPS means updates per second: higher is faster. The 75th percentile is the value three-quarters of the way through the sorted UPS results, not an average or the single fastest run. Check result counts and individual submissions; memory, operating system, and settings can also affect performance.
