Benchmarks don't lie.
The PIII Tualatin ran neck and neck with the athlon back then, it's not a
surprise that it can do the same on an even playing field with the needed
mhz and bandwidth.

Anti-A64 hype! No way an overclocked PM could compete clock for clock with
an Athlon 64 FX (Power consumption on such an old architecture is a
given!)! No surprise there!
Let me see if I have this straight, a glorified PIII die shrink taking on
an Althon FX? WTF is Tom thinking? Rubbish! @:|>

Take a look at what a Pentium M can do when it's on a more level playing
field - and notice the power consumption.
The Pentium M is the latest incarnation of the 10 year old Pentium Pro
design, it closely mimics the last PIII die (Tualatin) which in turn was
tweaked up version of the original PIII which was a teaked up version of
the PII which was a tweaked up version of the PPro :)
Is there a point for the P4 to exist at all anymore? And how inept are
the P4/netburst engineers for making a glorified space heater that
consumes more power after a die shrink?
