Forget clock-for-clock basis. That is like taking a cheap car and an
expensive car and comparing speeds based on ONLY RPM of the engine.
Compare $ to $, because really thats all that most people care about.

You can get an Athlong 1.2ghz for the price of a Pentium 600mhz or so
right? Well then compare those two and it will be quickly obvious what
is better value.
