Uh, I used it two times in the past, am shocked reading the replies here lol, where can I compare two cpus then?

Go watch tech channels on YT, there are many great channels. Gamer's Nexus also has a website (completely ad free too) that has all of their benchmark results.

Also, Phoronix although it is Unix centric

Having to sift through who knows how many videos to get information that could be a graphic with numbers? Yeah, no, thanks.

I find this site useful, it's part of Passmark - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

YouTube has a search function you know

Just search GN channel for the part you want to buy

It's much better than a narrow benchmark like PassMark and they show actual real world performance

If I want to compare part X with 3 others, I'll have to "watch" 4 videos. Give me the benchmark of each, plus the high/avg/low fps for a number of games and their settings, something Ars Technica does, and it'll take me less time to compare than it'll take to find the videos I "need" to watch.

... The videos have comparison charts, have you actually never watched one

And Ars is also a very good source
