Maximum frequency indicates the highest speed at which a processor can operate.

When comparing CPUs, a higher maximum frequency generally means better performance, as the processor can complete more tasks in a shorter amount of time.

This ability can be crucial when running resource-intensive applications or multitasking.

PassMark CPU Mark is a benchmarking tool used to compare the processing power of different CPUs.

It calculates a numerical score based on a series of tests designed to measure various aspects of CPU performance, including integer and floating-point calculations, compression and decompression speeds, encryption and decryption speeds, and more.

The score provides a standardized and objective way to compare the relative performance of different CPUs across different manufacturers and generations.
