That compares two specific processors. I'm looking for a general reference. I think AMD loses a huge marketing opportunity by not giving an easy way to compare, and maybe often discover that PCs with AMD are either faster or cheaper than Intel.
I'm usually buying general business stuff. I guess I'll just look at cores and clock speed and assume that's as good as I can do at comparing (limiting to processors released in the last 2-3 years so fairly current technology).
But I doubt that's fair. Toms Hardware used to rank many processors (they've stopped that and just put them in very broad categories). For instance, in the 2015 rankings, using a business speed test of opening a PDF and saving as Doc (using similar mboards, memory, disk), the AMD Athlon II X3 435, 3 cores, 2.9 GHz does it about twice as fast as an Intel i5-2400s, 4 cores, Turbo 3.3 GHz. So just comparing cores and clock speed is not an accurate comparison, but if AMD isn't going to provide and easy way to make such comparisons, what other choice do I have?
