Clock speed is not everything.Different generations of different chips have different internal architectures.Even with the same generation there are different steppings.Some have more internal cache at different levels.Some are tied to different busses.Some have the memory controller built on the die.Whether or not the ram and cpu can run at a 1:1 ratio.It is more a function of how much work the cpu can do per clock.
In the old days AMD used to beat the pants off Intel even though the Intel chips were clocked faster.The AMDs could do a lot more work per cycle and thus run at a lower speed.(less heat)
