How do I find CPU rankings based on performance?

[MiloshDr]

Sites like CPUboss put price, and power usage into account when ranking processor, which is giving me a false sense on what purely performs better.

Any better alternatives?

CPU Boss isn't very reliable, and uses very poor accuracy statistics.
Use CPU passmark scores for more reliable results.

You can use this hierarchy chart for a rough guideline.

For a more precise ranking, I like to use Userbenchmarks.

Userbenchmarks are alright, but they tend to fluff statistics a lot, and many of their statistics on older CPUs can be dodgy due to the fact that limited info is available.

This list from userbenchmark is great:
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Comparison

It's a comprehensive list but they also have benchmarks for less common CPUs as well via the site's search bar. Take care because the headline benchmarks are gaming orientated so quad core performance dominates the overall score but the individual breakdowns by single/quad/multi are also available.:

There's no set ranking, because different applications run better on different CPUs. For instance, a 6950X is $1700 10-core monster that will dominate most benchmarks, but an older $320 4790K will beat it in the many situation that don't utilize more than 4 cores.
