Benchmarks please with current generation processors and a chips from the same price point.

This benchmark is a joke. Those 3 cpus cannot be compared to eachother.

Compare the benchmarks for those processors?

If you want to compare CPUs do benchmarks like Geekbench instead of comparing a single metric.

DarkmSparks Oct 21, 2021 View on HN

no it doesnt, you must have misread the benchmark scores.

Is geekbench accurate at comparing across different architectures?

More interesting to benchmark the same CPU with an actual 1650.

The benchmark results at that link are from machines with different processor clocks. The results are invalid.

UserBenchmark, at least in recent years, has skewed any subjective content toward Nvidia/Intel ex core count comparisons. This site is solid.

Based on what evidence? A single core Geekbench run?
