  These auto-generated comparison pages are not useful.

    why not? Having the specs and benchmark results for both CPUs in a table gives a good overview. What advantage would it bring to manually write such comparison tables?

      Specifically, I don’t like them because they show really vague percentages or “scores” where it’s very unclear what specific benchmarks are being used. The benchmark bars for things like single and multi-core performance don’t break down different applications and use cases or even say which benchmarks they are referring to. This link in particular never goes deeper than Geekbench and has a bunch of comparisons to stuff that shouldn’t guide purchase decisions like: Newer - released 1 year and 4 months later More modern manufacturing process – 3 versus 6 nanometers I much prefer the more in-depth tests that outlets like GamersNexus do, where CPUs are tested using multiple workflows and solutions. For example, you can test specific games and applications, test file compression and video encoding, test simulation speed on CPU-dependent simulation games, test clock speed behavior and throttling (does the CPU have jittery boost clocks or does it settle in to a consistent frequency).

More modern manufacturing process – 3 versus 6 nanometers Actually that's influencing buying decisions and gives an idea what kind of efficiency a CPU might be able to deliver. I have various M processor machines from Apple and a CPU on the recent 3 nanometer TSMC process has advantages over a 6 nm process. For example the newer M CPUs are more power efficient & smaller and some of that enables the M4 series of chips to be ahead of the rest in terms of efficiency. Over time other CPUs will move to such 3nm processes. I've seen that with the M4 in the iPad Pro and now with the M4 Pro in the new Macs. > I much prefer the more in-depth tests That serves a very different purpose. I like both in-depth tests and tabular comparisons between CPUs.
