why is this

how can amd be better for gaming but have a lower clock speed i never got this and whats the equivelent of p4 3.0

You need to understand microprocessor architecture to understand how CPU A running a lower clock speed than CPU B can still perform faster than CPU B in some tasks.

The Athlon architecture is completely different than the Pentium. The Pentium was intentionally designed to scale to very high clockspeeds. This was achieved through things like extra long pipelines. AMD has taken a different approach and tried to make their CPUs do as much work as possible for each clock cycle. This, combined with many other factors, including an on-die memory controller, is how AMD beats a Pentium at some tasks even though it is running at a slower clock speed.

Comparing two architectures using clock speed is not an accurate comparison at all.

You might want to read up on some of the CPU architecture articles at ArsTechnica.com to understand better.

thx

couldn't be said better
