I was so glad to see the athlon64 absolutely slaughter this stupid misconseption about "more ghz is bettarr!!"
A 2.4ghz athlon would pwn a hot, noisy 3.8ghz p4! (or something like that, not sure on exact comparisons).
so for those who forgot or weren't around: clock speed is MEANINGLESS when comparing different architectures, it is ONLY useful for comparing cpus in THE SAME LINE where higher clocks mean more power, in more ways than one.
seeing as I am not currently in the market for 1000 $1.5k processors, i can only hope the desktop equivalents are on there way?
