Hardware Comparing different CPUs objectively.

[osirisjem]

To compare AMD vs Intel or just different processors in general ... I look up the Processor's CPU Mark.

(1) Is that a good way to compare overall ?

(2) Forinstance, if I have 2 computers with windows 10, 8 Gigs of identical RAM, same Hard drive, same Graphics card, if one has a CPU Mark of 9000, and another with 4500, would I notice a difference ? (Scenario: I have 20 browser windows Open, 10 windows explorer, 15 MS Word documents, and a few Excel sheets open ?

Yes. If the CPU Mark difference as large as 4500 (twice), you ought to notice a large difference under a fair workload.
