How do you compare CPU Speeds?

I have a AMD x2 4400+ dual core, and it said 2000 ghz. It is a lot faster than my family;s p4 3.0 GHz. How do you compare intel and AMD speeds?

Google it first before asking.

i have the same questions, and a google search has not helped me

@ Seedler if u dont want to answer the question properly, then dont, no one asked you specifically to

Run bunchmark tests.

It will be faster but there really isn't much way of comparing them based on frequency or the name anymore, you need to take a look at some benchmarks or better yet run some of your own benchmarks to compare your 2 PCs specifically.

benchmarks and theoretical side.

it's all about the registers & integrated technology.

Fuckin hell! I want one! :O

I do think you meant MHz.

Plus its dual core, your familys P4 might be a very old generation one. But lets all take a moment to disregard the specs and say that your CPU is badass!
