I’m surprised about how big the differences are in both directions. Would like to know a little more about what the tests are testing.

The "big wins" tend to favor Intel. But both are obviously good processors.

Using xmr-stak for benching as someone above sugested is a bad idea.
It needs manual tuning for each system.
On my system it gave ~260 h/s out of box and 360 after editing config. Default config was very shit.

Edit: Xmrig not xmr-stak mentioned. But i guess my point is still valid.

Not familiar with it but when glancing at https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig, it doesn't seem to have a benchmark mode.

Probably not, but it can output hash rate at fixed intervals using --print-time option, so hopefully it is possible to integrate somehow.
