-Nice article

-q
-- that value (clock speed measured in Ghz) means very little when comparing two processors of different families.

--{
But when comparing the CPU clockspeeds of different processor designs, it's generally apples-to-oranges. For two CPUs with the same clockspeed, a shorter pipeline has an advantage because it stays full more often. For two CPUs with the same pipeline depth but different clockspeeds, the higher clockspeed gives it an advantage. For two CPUs with different clockspeeds, it depends on the pipeline depth and other factors.

What is a good benchmark then?  With some short searches, I didn't find a good answer.
