AMD vs Intel processor comparsion tool ?


 I am familiar with Intel Processors and not much with AMD processors.

Is there a website or a tool which will tell me what the equivalent Intel Processor is when I give AMD processor number and speed ?

That would have worked a few years ago when it was speed you measured and not much else.  
Processors have become a lot more complex since then.  There are so many things like how many concurent commands it can pipeline.  How many cores it has. How much cache it has and how it processes the instructions.

The speed tests are also a bit false.  The processor companies know exactly the tests that the processor comparison tools run and will actually fine tune their processor to run those tests so it gets a higher rating than it really should have.

The best bet - work out your budget - how much you can spend and get the best available for that price.
