Previewing SpecCat.com - Compare CPU, APU, GPU Specifications Instantly
SpecCat.com is a web site I’ve made, mainly for myself<br>trying out LLMs, for easily comparing detailed specifications of different<br>silicon chips; CPUs, APUS, GPUs etc. as shown in screenshots of header below and<br>full at bottom. It should work reasonably well on mobile, but main use case was<br>for larger screens. I tried hard to make it colorful and fun, and dark only. I<br>made this a while ago but never got around to announcing it, so here we are.

I made this because I often check chip specifications, since I find it endlessly<br>fascinating but also for professional use. That is, I often go to<br>ark.intel.com, which unfortunately is not as great a<br>site as it once was. It’s not dense enough. Slow too. And naturally you can’t<br>compare to other chips/products from AMD, AMD Product<br>Specifications, or NVidia<br>GPUs, Compare GeForce Graphics<br>Cards or similar.
I also often have to spec new PCs for work or friends and family based on a<br>budget. Similar to what I discussed in my old blog post from 2020 Core<br>Developer PC™ v20.09.dGPU - AMD 3700X vs Intel i7-10700 8c/16t with NVidia 2060<br>Super, you know<br>back when DDR RAM was dirt cheap ($110/850 DKK for 2 x 16 GB DDR4 3200)! So<br>having specs at hand makes that a lot easier.
There are, of course, several media sites that have comparisons like<br>TechPowerUp specs databases; CPU Specs<br>Database, GPU Specs<br>Database, SSD Specs<br>Database. Or CPU<br>Monkey.
All of which are fine, but none really go into the detail I am looking for or<br>present such details in a dense enough way and allowing for easy comparison<br>across all details for many products. My main source has, thus, often been<br>Wikipedia ♥, which has great detailed tables, as<br>for example in:
AMD Zen 5
Intel Panther Lake
NVidia Blackwell
NVidia GeForce RTX 50 Series
Given my unhealthy obsession with performance/minimalism I created this as a<br>vanilla static html, css, javascript web site. Zero libraries or frameworks are<br>used. I spent quite a bit of time prompting and adjusting output to keep site<br>small and instant by bundling everything into just two assets, as shown in<br>Chrome Developer Tool below. Code is a mess for sure, though.
The entire site clocks in at just ~30 KB . A lot less than this blog post.<br>Basic design is very simple, I keep specs in json as js-files for each product<br>family. Then include these in index.html, which means it works fine locally<br>out-of-the-box, as part of deployment all this is then bundled into one single<br>index.html file together with app.js that contains site logic and the<br>favicon. The AI generated logo of a cat holding a silicon wafer then being the<br>only other asset, served as highly compressed avif-file for browsers that<br>support this (almost all). In comparison<br>ark.intel.com is 1.6 MB<br>(that’s +50x more) for just going to welcome page.
Given I have used LLMs for this and no matter what I provide no guarantees to<br>the correctness of the specifications. I checked as much as I could manually,<br>but if you find any mistakes please to let me know. It is very much a preview<br>and I do not know if I will invest more time in it or not. Probably depends on<br>others finding this useful or not, so feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
Ideally, I would like to expand this with other silicon products (e.g. gaming<br>consoles, mobile SOCs), but also include rumored specifications for upcoming<br>chips like Zen 6 or Nova<br>Lake based on leaks<br>from Moore’s Law Is Dead or similar, as<br>when to buy/update a PC for example is a cornerstone of any silicon<br>enthusiasts reasoning.
That’s all!
