Apple CPU FOLDING@HOME PPD RANK DATABASE
As Folding@Home PPD values can vary drastically between different Apple CPUs we provide the following CPU PPD database to help educate folders on how their hardware stacks up against other available processors.
Each Apple CPU's estimated PPD overall and PPD-PLP (PPD per logical processor) are based on averages sampled from real users folding work units collected from a variety of hardware configurations and different Folding@Home projects available daily to create average performance baselines.
Due to the never static nature of Folding@Home project work units varying in availability and PPD reward by different Apple CPUs, the following ranks are always changing to reflect this.
