<Aren't you ignoring the fact that some parts of the P4 run at twice the speed? That makes a 1.5 GHz P4 a 750MHz/1.5GHz/3.0GHz CPU.>

It is well known that any system's performance is gated by the slowest component. This is why 3.0GHz ALUs are irrelevant, while 750MHz decoder is very relevant. Also the number of transistors implementing L2/decode stages is an order of magnitude larger than the number of transistors in the ALUs.
