How to tell if a cpu if better or worse?

[_Edwin_63]

If a Cpu has 3 numbers like a Intel Core i5-760 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Processor - 8 MB(760) and a Intel Core I5-2300 2.8ghz 6mb 5.0gt/s Sr00d Cpu Quad(2300) does that mean the 2300 quad core is better than the 760 quad core?

The higher number denotes a newer generation and typically (but not always) means it's an improvement.
