Anandtech has a nice comparison tool with various applications and games:

Thanks! I think that I had looked at that one before but couldn't find the exact CPUs I was trying to compare.. I had obviously missed them in the list.
BTW.. what does the "K" on the end mean? I thought the K meant it could be overclocked... is that it? Is an i5 7600 and a non-overclocked i5 7600K the same thing?
