this chat channel seems to be somewhat active, so I am asking here (I'd ask on the CS.SE channel, but the last message there was 90 days ago)

I need some numbers to quantify the difference in computing power between different CPUs (across very different architectures)

Where should I ask "how to do that"? I am not asking for someone to make the "ranking" or give me the numbers, but how to get such numbers.
I guess one would compare the Flops? Are they published anywhere? Or people compute flops by other means?

if you want some backstory: I need to convince people that have no formal nor practical education or experience in the CS field. And I need to help them visualize (with actual values) that the performance they get on an i7 can't be the same they get on a powerPC.

ah
that would depend on the workload

sure, but to simplify (i.e. ignoring the different OS), running the same code will take longer if you can only do 10 operations per second vs if you can do 1000. I'd like to have some real values instead of "10" and "1000"

ah, but for example, some types of workloads are accelerated
so an X86 box with say AES-NI would be faster than one, all other things considered without
Federico
Federico
fair, but I don't need that level of detail

Journeyman Geek
ah
I don't remember off the top of my head but there are cross arch benchmarks

Oh, I see what you're looking for now. While I understand that you're seeking real values to help people understand the performance difference between an i7 and a PowerPC, I'm afraid I can't provide specific benchmark results for you. However, I can suggest that you look into reputable benchmarking websites or consult documentation and performance studies conducted by hardware manufacturers and research organizations. They often provide data and comparisons between different architectures, ...
which can help illustrate the performance disparities you're trying to convey.
