"Clock speed is pretty much everything."
Clock speed is useless as a benchmark. Eventually, it's all down to how many instructions per cycle get carried out. Your pussy 5.0 GHz 2 instructions per clock cycle (making for 10 billion instructions per second) pales in comparison to my 2.5 GHz 8 instructions per cycle (20 billion instructions per second.)
See how quickly your clock speed arms race got destroyed?
This is why real performance is measured in IPS or FLOPS, not clock speed.
