Comparing CPUs

Is there a site that lets you compare any two processors? I wanna compare benchmarks of one processor to another.

what benchmarks do you chose to get accurate idea of the comparison

That would depend on what you are going to use them for?

simply pick an app from the same group as the app you are worried about.

(P.S. To be honest, most synthetic benchmarks are just that - synthetic benchmarks - ie. how well would a CPU do in certain circumstances. Only in those circumstances mind you, as they may not apply to real life situations. - Moral of the story: find a benchmark of an actual program, or one of the like of one, that you are going to use)

Id suggest just looking at different ones that apply to what you will use it for.
