Yes basically. AMD confuses me with 3200's and then look at pentium 3.0 Someone should make a Ghz spreadsheet

yes that would also help me understnading the simularities better.
 
Well of course GHz means SOMETHING.. :confused:.. It's one of the two main components of the efficiency formula..

Instructions/second = instructions/cycle x cycles/second

The cycles/second = GHz measure

AMD tends to have a higher "instructions/cycle" than Intel. It just so turns out that when u combine the two components, to get the same "Instructions/second", you only need a lower "cycles/second" for AMD..

But yeah. Both the "instructions/cycle" and the "GHz measure" are obviously important.
