What's a good place to see CPU benchmarks? I want to know how much more perf I can get from upgrading my 2012 i7-3770.

Userbenchmark has been waging a one man war against AMD's high benchmarks. That isn't a really good source.

UserBenchmark's summary scores are biased toward <8 core workloads, because almost all users don't saturate 8+ cores.

All the detailed metrics are available for perusal.

That's all.

For anyone looking for some elaboration on why Userbenchmark isn't great, I'd check out this reddit thread [0]. Even if you don't agree that they outright shouldn't be used, other reviewers and benchmarkers definitely do a much better job of showing the nuance in CPU comparisons.
