WBMW, Intel has long since erred in marketing megahertz for products with non-similar performance, and people on this forum have been saying so for ages.

What's the "error"? Clock speed is clock speed, useful for comparing two different CPUs in the same family of products. Obviously a Celeron running at 2.6 GHz isn't going to be the same as a P4 running at the same speed.

With Sempron, AMD is once again choosing an arbitrary base of comparison, just like I argued for years now. Remember when ModelHertz was supposed to be compared to the clock speed of the old T-bird (the last Athlons before AMD adopted the model number nonsense)? I guess that only applied to Athlon model numbers. What's Sempron supposed to be compared to, and who's stopping AMD from starting Sempron with a ModelHertz rating of 20 million?
