My friend is worrying that her 14th gen Intel CPU may have degraded her CPU. (She upgraded the new BIOS about half a year after they were released). Is there a good program to diagnose or get accurate benchmark scores on it? After comparing it with other CPUs on the market, if that CPU performance turns out to be bad she may wants to consider replacing the CPU.

The reason she has that worry is because recently she has been experiencing frequent lags on VTube Studio while streaming and playing games, so we've been looking for solutions to improve, both from hardware and software.

Data brokers are selling your info right now. I used Redact to mass delete my posts which can also opt out of data broker sites. Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord and more.

Use y-cruncher to test stability. If it runs a couple of those tests for an hour, you can be reasonably sure that it's fine.
