but what about this. clock speed measures how quickly it can do the task If one is at 3.3 Ghz and the other is at 3.3 Ghz they should be equal correct? it should be more like sending an email vs sending a text to someone that has both email and texting on their smart phone they both should get...

They should know though, its no secret right? i mean AMD can go buy an intel chip, and reverse engineer it into their own. and vice versa. I'm not really understanding this.... But why do they vary in intel's favor clock speed is how quickly a processor can do a task correct? so if the...

but wouldn't both amd and intel want to have the fastest architecture? like, why would one pick postal mail over texting when texting is clearly superior? And wouldn't that be reflected in the clock speed?

and how exactly do the different architectures result in different benchmark testings? and is the benchmark comparable to normal computer use? internet, email, games, video editing, etc?

I'm looking at buying a graphics card for a new build and i'm not too familiar with cards anymore back when i built my current computer around 4 years ago it seemed that it was just clock speed and memory amount now i'm seeing things like shader clock speed (which seems to always be higher than...

I'm looking at building a new computer and i'm leaning more towards AMD for a cost friendly build But i checked out cpubenchmark.net to look at scores and the AMD phenom 2 x6 scored a good deal lower than the i5 2500k How is that possible when they have similar clock speeds and the AMD has 6...
