⚙️ CPU Benchmark Analyzer

“Measure. Analyze. Visualize your CPU Performance.”

---

🧩 Project Overview

CPU Benchmark Analyzer is a Python-based GUI application designed to test and visualize the performance of a computer’s processor (CPU) through various computational benchmarks. It offers users an interactive, modern, and visually appealing interface to evaluate their CPU’s efficiency in performing different tasks — from arithmetic operations to data processing and matrix computations.

This project demonstrates the practical application of Computer Organization & Architecture concepts, such as CPU performance, ALU and FPU operations, multi-core utilization, and instruction execution time.
