|  |     I have been poking around the web trying to find a table that compares
    the various PC chips around (amd, Cyrix, Intel, Nexgen) and puts them
    on a level playing field. I've seen some Icomp numbers but only for
    Intel chips, some P-numbers for some of the cyrix chips, and various
    other measures. The problem is that the comparisions tend to be between
    a small number of chips.
    
    Is there such a comprehensive list ?

    Been there, seen that. It doesn't seem to mention the 486 class cpu's.
    For the 586/Pentium/686/Pentium Pro it has a lot of good information,
    but not a simple comparison table.
    
    	Thanx. Anything else ?

Is there any such thing nowadays?  Every comparison is "apples to oranges"!
    
What are you comparing: clock speed, CPU internal design, cache size and
architecture, coprocessor activity, memory subsystem, instruction mix, 
I/O architecture, multiprocessor fluency, etc.?  
No comparison can measure all these variables and still be simple.
Test beds to check various parameters holding all else "the same" are
expensive and rare; results are usually highly proprietary.

|  | My suggestion is to have a look at:
	http://www.dfw.net:80/~sdw/
This site gives benchmark figures for various configurations, including
overclocking. You can then form your own opinion as to the effect of 
motherboard and CPU combination.
