MHz has always been a palrty substitute for a real indicator of processor power. Just look at the Pentium 4 and the PowerPC vs. Pentium wars a few years back. Not to mention the current Athlon craze.
A good benchmark program is always a better indicator of processor power anyway. No, they aren't perfect, but if you take the results of a few different ones, selected to balance their strengths/weaknesses, you end up with a good idea of how a processor really 'stacks' up ;-).
