Clock speed is almost completely meaningless, even comparing processors
from the same manufacturer.
A good example is the Pentium 3 and Pentium 4. The P3 ran at half the
clock speed (or less), but it took significantly fewer clocks to do an
operation.
The difference was so significant that the next generation Intel mobile
processors were more closely related to the P3 than the P4 -- because
power is consumed on on the clock transition and not during the
steady-state in between.
It only matters when you're talking about the same processor at
different speeds.
