I read the online version of The NY Times every day. There's an article on the new Pentium 4 where Anandtech is mentioned. The article explains that it is slower than the Pentium III even though the clockspeed is faster.
I can't link because you need to register (free) to read the article, but here is the PP where it is mentioned:
In various studies performed by PC World magazine, IT Week magazine and Web sites for techies like www.anandtech .com and www.sharkeyextreme.com, the Pentium 4 makes it around the test track of everyday computing tasks at a speed that's about 10 percent slower than that of the 1- gigahertz Pentium III chips. And if you crave ultimate speed, note that the first- place winner in almost every test isn't a Pentium at all; it's the 1.2-gigahertz Athlon, a chip made by AMD, Intel's rival.

ps - sharkyextreme is mentioned as well.
