@OakBot querent wanted general insights with numbers
Apologies for the misunderstanding. While comparing non-x86(64) benchmarks from websites like cpubenchmark.net can provide numerical data for general insights into the performance of different CPUs, including ARM processors, it's important to approach these benchmarks with caution.

The benchmarks on cpubenchmark.net can give you an approximate comparison between CPUs in terms of their performance metrics. However, it's worth noting that the performance of a CPU depends on various factors such as architecture, clock speed, number of cores, cache size, and efficiency of instruction execution.
that's the entire point
also, why does SO chat have a much nicer alert sound than here??

@bertieb thank you, but they do not seem to have any PowerPC unit :(

@bertieb I think meta has the nicest

@Federico Oh! Apologies, I thought PPC was a substitutable example rather than than the actual comparand

@bertieb no worries, thank you anyway :)
I asked the technicians for their input, and they suggest to simply compare the runtime of our code

There is certainly that- "here's a few sample programs that do X, Y and Z", and here are the timings on different CPUs/arches
