Yes, you want clock speed (Score 0, Redundant)

Remember, the common consumer doesn't know anything about how a CPU works. They see a bigger number on the advertisement for the computer, think it's faster and then purchase it. Why do you think Intel went with an architecture that scales to high clock speeds so easily? And why AMD is using performance ratings? It's because there are far more common consumers than "experts" purchasing computers. Remember, processor companies are in the biz to make money, they're not out to impress the /. crowd.
