I suppose one could think of comparing GHz itself (especially across different microarchitectures like P6, K7, K8, etc.) as comparing how high various car engines' RPMs are... it does you no good unless the nuts and bolts of the damn thing can harness that many revolutions per minute and create power (and then you have to have torque, etc. to make that effective).
