    You can find a good overview of the subject at
    <http://arstechnica.com/cpu/01q2/p4andg4e/p4andg4e-1.html>.

    The Rubenstein presentation was somewhat oversimplified (not surprising,
    given the audience wasn't going to be up for an indepth discussion of CPU
    design tradeoffs), and Apple helped themselves by looking at the Pentium 4,
    not the Athalon Thunderbird, but it was more or less correct.

    Subject: [WinMac] G4 vs P4 Speed Info

    Is there an objective source that explains why a slower Mhz G4 is faster
    than a faster Mhz P4? Or, is this just Apple smoke and mirrors?
    Thanx.
