    Hello,
    What do you consider the best CPU benchmarking utility for comparing CPUs?

    Let's say I want to "compare" my 4790K in my current PC environment to other CPUs?

    Passmark Performance test? Sandra? Cinebench? PCMark? 3DMark Physics?

    I know each bench CPU from specific aspect but want one that is widely acceptable as a good comparing tool.

    Thanks

    Depends wholly on what you are planning to do with the CPU.

    Then you're best off looking at Passmark scores and individual cpu benchmarks for the games you are playing.
