The closest to creating a single evaluation scale was approached by the company Microsoft. In the latest versions of their operating systems has such a feature, as assessment of the performance of the computer. To use this function, activate the tab "Computer" in the start menu".

The computational power of the computer is determined using other test programs, one of which is the PassMark. After executing it you will get a rating of the CPU, also in points. On the website of the developer collected a huge statistics of these tests and you will be able to compare your results with the ratings from other users.
