IPC or IPS (whichever you want to call it) question

[ZeusXI]

Is there a website that shows all Intel and AMD IPC?

Im just wondering where I can find the data so i can compare CPU's a lot better. 

Any links for either would be awesome

One of the better places to compare CPUs is userbenchmark.

No, there best place to look is something like anandtech. Also raw ipc won't help as there as there is no one number than shows performance.

doesnt show the ipc directly, but measures the real world performance of cpus

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/

Lol, IPC and IPS are two totally different things, I don't think their's any site that compares IPC but I use Userbenchmark to compare most PC components . http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/

IPS is a display technology isn't it (in plane switching?)

don't know about you but I've heard Linux say a lot that IPS is the best for gaming and everything else is irrelevant, so I like IPS better too

Given the context, I'm assuming IPS is Instructions per Second, which would be Instructions per Cycle × Cycles per Second (Frequency). Generally just known as "performance".

 

No, there is no list of IPC for every processor, because IPC isn't a number. It's a collection of numbers, several hundred of them. Processors can perform many different types of calculations. Some CPU designs may be stronger in some areas, but weaker in others. If you want to look at performance for a specific type of instruction, you can look at things like floating-point performace (GFLOPS) or integer performance (GIPS) or whatever other type of instruction you want, but even within those each inatruction set has various extensions that might be used (such as AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, etc.) so test results aren't necessarily comparable, and actual performance might depend on what instructions are supported by the software and processor.

 

In short, no there is no table of numbers you can look at. CPU performance isn't that simple. If you want to know how a CPU will perform in a certain application, what you do is you literally just use the CPU with that application and see how much work it does in a period of time, and there's your answer. It goes that fast, in that application. Of course no one expects you to just buy every CPU and test it in order to make a shopping decision, that is why we have plenty of people who have already done that for you, and they publish all the results online, known as benchmarks on review websites. All you have to do is make a Google search and look at their results.
