About BestCPU.com.au

BestCPU.com.au was founded in 2024 by a group of passionate PC builders who noticed a gap in the Australian market for honest, detailed CPU advice. We were frustrated with generic recommendations that did not account for local pricing, availability, or the specific needs of Australian users. So we decided to create the resource we wished we had when we started building PCs.

Our team collectively has over 40 years of experience in PC hardware. We have built everything from budget office machines to extreme water-cooled workstations. We have overclocked processors, diagnosed thermal throttling issues, helped friends choose between AMD and Intel, and spent countless hours poring over benchmark data. This hands-on experience forms the foundation of every guide we write and every recommendation we make.

What sets us apart is our commitment to practical, real-world advice. We do not just regurgitate spec sheets or manufacturer marketing claims. We test processors in scenarios that matter to Australian users, whether that is gaming on a budget, content creation for YouTube, or running demanding workstation applications. We understand that buying a CPU in Australia often means paying a premium, so we focus heavily on value-for-money recommendations.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality hardware advice, regardless of their experience level. That is why we create detailed guides that explain not just what to buy, but why. We break down technical jargon, explain the differences between cores and threads, discuss when overclocking makes sense, and help you understand which specifications actually matter for your use case.

Our mission is simple: to be the most trusted source for CPU information in Australia. We earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through our links, but this never influences our recommendations. We recommend the best products for your needs, even when cheaper alternatives would earn us more. Your trust is more valuable than any commission.
