Best way to compare CPUs for gaming performance?

Two processors on paper look close in core count and clock speed but reviews show big gaming gaps. What should I actually compare, cache, single-core scores, benchmarks in specific games?

Look at game benchmarks from reviewers, not Cinebench or Passmark. The good reviews test CPUs at 1080p with a top GPU so the CPU is the limit. Also check results in the actual games you play, because some CPUs (like the X3D chips with extra cache) do way better in certain games.
