Yes they can be compared, enter all data in excel and compare them on top of each other, usually a higher average output across the rpm range will produce a faster acceleration, but a higher top HP will produce a higher top speed. Power is needed for top speed, higher curve for faster acceleration.

So if you see a curve in the shape of the top one, faster acceleration, in the shape of the bottom one, higher top speed only if final HP is higher.

Of course it will all depend on transmission gear ratio and used rpm range.
