How does a AMD cpu such as a 2.2Ghz keep up with a p4 clocked at 3.2 and above?

I've been wondering too. Different architecture? But I love my AMD.

There's a short answer and a long answer.

Think of an Athlon XP as like a 3 lane highway with a 50mph speed limit, and a P4 as a 2 lane highway with a 80 mph speed limit.
