AMD's ads emphasized neither IPC nor clock speed. They emphasized performance and reliability.

In the face of Intel it's likely a real uphill battle. But if you're in the middle of a battlefield and you just stand there like an idiot, then you get wounded. If you fight, even if the enemy is stronger, then you sometimes are able to dodge blows and land a few hits yourself.

Not sure where you see this. It's really more "Intel sells" and "MHz helps".
