The higher clocked CPU performance better?

Solution
Not always. A lower clocked Intel processor will provide more performance than a higher clocked AMD processor. If we're comparing different clockspeed within the same architecture/brand then there will be differences but the performance boost will not be a constant increase. At some point clockspeed won't matter (at least enough).

Additionally the number cores would matter when comparing CPU performance
