however if you compared a Pentium-4 2.6GHz with and Athlon64 3200+ (2.0GHz), the A643200+ will outperform the P4 even though it is clocked 600MHz less. for example, if you compare a Pentium-4 2.2GHz with a Pentium-4 2.6GHz where the winner would be the 2.6GHz model. in the pentium-4 days, Intel's marketing team did a great job of convincing the general un-computer-savvy public that clock speed was all that mattered.Ĭlock speeds do indeed impact performance and can be used to compare same-model processors, but cannot be used to compare different model processors.
This is because the clock speed is only one of many factors that determines the CPU's "performance". CPU architecture has always been (and always will be) more important than a CPU's internal clock speed.
