As CPU speeds increase, the performance does not scale linearly.

This means that the P4 will look worse and worse relative to Athlon as the clock speeds ramp up, assuming a fixed percentage delta in frequency (say 33%.)

Kind of a sweeping generality, Scumbria. Some tests scale more straight line than others (see new benchmark article below), and Athlon, as it moves up in freq., will not scale any more straight line than will P4.

New set of benchmarks:
