Re: Yeah, I picked the ones where the Pentium 4 wins, even though it loses in some others

You also used the words "huge increase in performance" when a 40% clock speed increase resulted in anything from considerably lower performance to about a 20% increase when you only include the only the improved benchmarks and exclude the lowered benchmarks.

Overall, you're looking at Intel requiring a 40% clock speed increase to get about the same performance boost AMD got with a ZERO % clock speed increase going from Athlon to Athlon MP.

Intel required 40% more clocks plus a completely new chip 2.5 times as large to get the improvement AMD got from a major stepping of a chip made slightly larger and running at the same clock speed as the old chip.
