To respond to your edit - tell me something I know about. Like I posted before, how many AES blocks can it decode per second. How many many NxM matrices can it multiply per second. How quickly does it match in a kd-tree. Even tell me that it runs quake at x fps etc. An abstract number (overall performance is 9001) is actually what the customer cares about the least.
I'm going to know what my workload is, or what to compare it to. If you don't know what your workload is, then you're likely a general computer use customer and don't have specific requirements.
