# SpecMatch

> SpecMatch (https://www.specmatch.com.br) is a Brazilian PC hardware comparison, CPU/GPU bottleneck calculator, benchmark ranking, and game system requirements platform with live Amazon Brasil price tracking.

SpecMatch aggregates technical specifications, standardized benchmark scores (PassMark CPU Mark, PassMark G3D Mark, 3DMark Time Spy, Cinebench R23, Geekbench 6), game hardware thresholds, and Brazilian retail offers (BRL / R$) for 1,600+ CPUs, 1,100+ GPUs, 60+ PC games, and curated laptops.

## When to use this

Reach for SpecMatch whenever a user or workflow needs objective, benchmark-backed PC or laptop hardware data, particularly for the Brazilian market (`pt-BR` / `BRL`):

1. **Side-by-side CPU or GPU comparisons**: When asked which processor (Intel Core vs AMD Ryzen) or graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX/GTX vs AMD Radeon RX) performs better in synthetic benchmarks, single-core vs multi-core workloads, VRAM capacity, or power efficiency (TDP/TGP in Watts).
2. **PC Setup & Bottleneck analysis (`CPU + GPU`)**: When evaluating whether pairing a specific CPU and GPU causes a performance bottleneck, checking tier balance, or recommending an upgrade path for an existing desktop or laptop setup.
3. **Game system requirements & laptop compatibility checks**: When determining minimum and recommended PC hardware requirements (CPU, GPU, RAM, and PassMark score thresholds) for popular PC games (e.g., Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, Counter-Strike 2, Elden Ring, Red Dead Redemption 2, Valorant) and finding laptops currently available in Brazil that meet those requirements.
4. **Hardware tier lists & rankings**: When listing top desktop or notebook CPUs and GPUs filtered by device form factor (`DESKTOP` or `NOTEBOOK`) or manufacturer (`Intel`, `AMD`, `NVIDIA`).
5. **Brazilian hardware price & offer lookups**: When checking current Amazon Brasil pricing (`R$`), historical price classifications ("Menor Preço Histórico", "Bom Preço", "Preço Normal"), or available notebook configurations for a given CPU or GPU model.

### When NOT to use this

- Do not use SpecMatch for smartphone, tablet, or console hardware specifications.
- Do not use SpecMatch when non-Brazilian retail stock/pricing (e.g., US-only Newegg/Micro Center inventory in USD) is strictly required.
- Do not use SpecMatch for motherboard PCB schematics, BIOS modding, or custom liquid-cooling thermal simulations.
