So. My friend asked me to just improve performance of his computer, but I found a little issue. I found out that CPU is the bottlenecker, when I was about to order better CPU (3rd gen - the same gen as previous, but higher clock and i5), I found less powerful i5, but it was 8th gen. The difference is not as big, but I'm curious, how can I compare those?

1Checkout CPU benchmarks, like these: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php – user96931 Dec 15 '19 at 19:12

1CPUBenchmark.net is definately the "go-to" place for an overview of relative performance boiled down to 1 number. If you want to get into the weeds once you have this overview, head on over to ark.intel.com to compare the functionality of the CPUs. – davidgo Dec 15 '19 at 19:22

Any 8th generation Core processor is incompatible with any 3rd Core generation core processor hardware. – Ramhound Dec 16 '19 at 04:07

You can compare passmark CPU scores here https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleCompare.php
Unfortunately the 8th generation uses different socket. The latest generation with 1155 socket you can get is 7th.
So if you replaced i3-3225 with i3-7350K
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i3-3225-vs-Intel-i3-7350K/1474vs2930
you would get ~50% increase.

It is more appropriate to link the the site that generates these benchmarks, rather then a reseller that happens to list some of them - ie cpubenchmark.net. – davidgo Dec 15 '19 at 19:21

Yeah, that is possible answear, and yeah, I noticed the different socket later, but anyhow, a website can't just tell me if it is really like that I think. Is there any kind of database of comparison from real-computer benchmarks for CPUs? I'm so tired by looking for every result thorugh whole internet. I would preffer results from Cinebench, but I couldn't find any site with results – Dec 16 '19 at 15:50

@arty cpubenchmark.net is exactly "a database of comparison from real-computer benchmarks for CPUs" – davidgo Dec 17 '19 at 22:04
