How do I determine cpu capability?

And while we're at it, why did manufacturers drop the older and easier to understand mega/gigahertz rating in thier processor descriptions?

CPU speed is only one factor in performance, that's why it's not used in marketing any more. Today's slower multicore CPUs easily outperform the faster ones of years ago.
