There are several sites.
www.digitalnaturalsound.com has some Logic test results (CPU performance)
www.rme-audio.com has a lot of tech info which is quite interesting.

It depends on the program. Some plugins work better on P4 (Logic

explanation for that, it's just what I've noticed after reading reports 
by many people.

I recommened RME HDSP for even better performance. :)
