CPU comparison


How to compare CPUs? Is there a trusted source that compares cpu performance?

Thank you,
Mike

The only way to compare CPU performance is to run a benchmark, with the machine you want to use and the applications you need. In my personal opinion, generic benchmarks are crap.

I would go with the:
http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/i...hp?k=downloads
because it has tons of benchmarks available.

Or you can search for benchmarks.

Thank you all for your replies!

The problem is I don't have the capitol to buy several CPUs and benchmark them. Is there any other solution to find out the best cpu at a point in time?
