I don't know. Maybe they don't know how. Maybe they just like them that way. Maybe they just want to say that theirs are faster by citing clock speed.
Because Intel has Dell (and now Apple), competition free. Dell has a pretty significant marketshare. Sure Intel has to compete against other pre-built companies, such as Alienware, HP and a few others, but they aren't as popular as Dell. Intel has also been around longer than AMD.
Also, many people make the stupid assumption that a Pentium 4 3.0ghz kills a 3200+ since the Pentium 4 nearly has 1ghz faster in it's "speed". Many people are uneducated and automatically assume they are faster. So you see, Intel's CPU make-up has to do with marketing too.
AMD is very popular among PC junkies, builders and gamers, but that's because we know enough about computers to understand AMD rapes Intel in most benchies.
However more people seem to becoming educated with computers and discovering Intel's CPU's honestly just suck compared to AMD, this is partly why AMD's marketshare has been, and will continue to go through the roof.
