The frequency was an indicator of performance in the 90s. In the meantime, architectural details are way more important. IPC times frequency is a better metric, but even that's far from the whole picture. The way the cores & cache are organized can have a serious impact on performance as can the memory controller (not so long ago, AMD CPUs ran crappy with slow RAM, AFAIK AMD removed the heavy RAM dependency in their newer products).

If you want to know how well a given CPU will fare in your workloads (Cinebench is different from gaming is different from video editing), you have to benchmark yourself or read benchmarks. userbenchmark.com is a good place to start. I personally recommend Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. They cover CPUs (and hardware in general) in quite the detail, thoroughly refraining from simple answers such as "it's good" or "it sucks" because different workloads are indeed a thing.

Dedicating cores to VMs isn't a bad idea, and that Linus dude got a couple videos on that as well (i.e. "One CPU 6 video editors").
