RE: Core 2 Duo ?
Ignore everything you previously based clock speed on. The only reason you see clock speeds like 4ghz on Pentium 4s is because intel doubled NetBurst's pipeline, meaning they could get much higher clock speeds. However, this also means the possible instructions per tick is halved, meaning you would need a 4ghz Pentium 4 to match the performance of most 2ghz AMD processors; and of course, clocking a processor at 4ghz creates heat and power consumption problems, which is why you never saw Pentium 4s outperforming AMD processors. however, with the Core line, intel fixed this issue and now just about every Core 2 Duo processor would wipe the floor with AMD's entire processor market.
