Fyo and others, at least with cars, a standard benchmark for performance is the acceleration time from zero to 60 MPH. Of course, no one really needs good 0-60 performance, now do they? ;-)

The trouble with the processor performance game is that there is no de facto standard of measurement besides clock speed. Obviously this is not a problem that Intel is very willing to fix, but AMD's arbitrary "quantispeed" rating is no solution, either.
