Gaming index against the rest of the catalog
The demo model treats gaming index 100 as a 240 fps frame-rate ceiling. This processor caps at roughly 204 fps before the graphics card becomes the limit.
- Aetheron ZX-7800X3V95 index
- Volterra LG-14900K92 index
- Aetheron ZX-7950X88 index
- Volterra LG-14600K85 index
- Aetheron ZX-7600X82 index
- Volterra LG-12400F64 index
- Aetheron ZX-560062 index
The index is a property of the demo dataset, not a measured benchmark. Direct frame-rate measurements in this catalog vary the graphics card on a fixed processor bench.

Demo product
Volterra LG-14600K is a fictional model created for this demonstration catalog. Its specifications are internally consistent so the compatibility and scoring engines can be exercised, but it does not describe a real product.
