You mean like ediff? (Tools -> Compare (ediff) -> ...)
Requires a Unix-like "diff" program, see the FAQ for pointers to
Unix-like tools for use with Emacs.

I'm sure ediff can be coerced into using separate frames for
file A and file B. The default configuration is file A above file B,
but this can be changed by customizing `ediff-split-window-function'.
It is easy to make it use two side by side windows within a single
frame, which might be close enough to what you want.

Yes, and to a finer degree than any other diff tool I have ever seen.
