Major public features already available in the product.

  • •
    Per-model value pages: Dedicated pages for popular GPUs and CPUs with price targets, dated offers, calculated alternatives, and a compatibility & power check.
  • •
    Head-to-head comparisons: "X vs Y" pages scoring two products in one shared price frame — plus an interactive head-to-head you can re-weight and swap live.
  • •
    Best-for buying guides: Live rankings like Best GPU for 4K gaming or Best DDR5 RAM for gaming, sorted by value for that use case.
  • •
    Tier lists: GPU, CPU, SSD and RAM tier lists (S–F) with a Value Score on every card, so you can spot mid-tier parts that are great buys.
  • •
    Try it your way, on every page: Enter your own price and move the weight sliders right on a product or comparison page — no need to open the full table.
  • •
    Rebuilt navigation: A components megamenu that groups each category's calculator, model analyses, comparisons and tier list in one place.
  • •
    GPU and CPU calculators: Dedicated GPU and CPU value engines with category-aware scoring fields, presets, filters, grouped rows, and compact scanning mode.
  • •
    Homepage hub: The root page now introduces the full PC-hardware value platform, while /gpu/ and /cpu/ carry the working calculators.
  • •
    Grouped Model View & Compact Rows: Collapse duplicate AIB/store variants into one model card, scan dense Compact rows, and expand any model to inspect its offer snapshots.
  • •
    Relative Compare & Tooltips: Pin multiple items to see exactly how they stack up against each other with relative percentage deltas.
  • •
    Publisher widgets: Public widget gallery, embed builder, live iframe demos, and generated static widget previews for publisher workflows.
  • •
    Share and embed flow: Share exact calculator views and configure embeddable widgets for articles, roundups, and product pages.
  • •
    Public methodology: A public /methodology/ page explains how Value Score works across categories.
  • •
    Ray Tracing & AI/Compute Indexes: Two new performance metrics joined raster — weight RT and AI/FP16 throughput for your exact workload.
  • •
    Data Integrity Engine: Generation-aware matching for pro/workstation cards and hardware-fingerprint matching for AIB variants.
Q3 2026

In Progress

The next improvements users will see in the calculator and widget ecosystem.

  • •
    "Why this score?" breakdown: Expand a card to see the main strengths and trade-offs behind its Value Score.
  • •
    "Why this score?" numeric breakdown: See the exact value math behind each ranking, not just the result.
  • •
    Fresher offer snapshots: More frequent visible price checks across supported stores.
  • •
    More widget formats: Additional article-friendly widgets for reviews, rankings, and head-to-head comparisons.
Q4 2026

Next Candidates

Candidate product expansions after the current calculator and widget surfaces are stable.

  • •
    SSD & RAM model pages: Per-model pages and head-to-head comparisons for drives and memory (guides and tier lists are already live).
  • •
    Upgrade calculator: "Sell your old part, top up X, get Y" — see the net cost and what you gain.
  • •
    Browser assistant beta: A browser helper that can bring store-page products into the calculator for quick value checks.
  • •
    Motherboard calculator: The value-engine idea extended to another core component.
2027 & Beyond

Future Vision

Big ideas we are exploring.

  • •
    More regions and stores: Europe, local currencies, and broader retailer coverage.
  • •
    PC Build & Compatibility Calculator: Assemble a full build and check part-to-part compatibility (socket, PSU, clearance) with a running value score.
  • •
    AI Build Assistant: A chat interface to generate PC builds for your needs (e.g., "Build a PC for Cyberpunk 2077 within $1000").
  • •
    Public API and CMS plugins: Programmatic access, WordPress/WooCommerce integrations, and white-label workflows after the widget funnel proves real external demand.

Note: Priorities may change based on community feedback. We are agile!


Shaping the Future of PC Building

Our roadmap is the blueprint for The Comparator platform. We are expanding from GPU and CPU value calculators into richer product pages, more widgets, more categories, and eventually region-aware PC-building tools. Your feedback drives our development, so if you want to see a specific feature or retailer, reach out and let us know!
