Please use the search function because this has been answered many times before. Intel and AMD use different architectures that work differently. The frequency of the processor is not the only determinant of its performance. Think of AMD as a 9 lane highway (I know that it isn't correct due to X86 stuff but it is just an example) with cars going at 55 mile per hour in each lane. Now think of an Intel (Prescott) as a 6 lane highway with cars going at 85 miles per hour. More cars for AMD but slower speed equals less cars for Intel at faster speed.

The AMD model numbers are close enough to the corresponding Intel numbers that it is reasonably accurate. (Video encoding usually a little better on single core Intel and gaming better on the AMD) It all balances out more or less in the end.
