There's more to it than just the numbers. The architectures are different. The old Pentium's are not very efficient clock-per-clock, which is why most gamers went with AMD's K8 CPU's at the time. Despite having slower clocks, they still performed better.
Exactly. Clock speeds and all of that are only good for comparing processors within the same series. The architectures are what really matter, and the end performance more then anything
