All things are not equal. Different architectures and pipeline setups result in completely different outcomes.
Frequency is far from an accurate measure of performance. It doesn't take in IO, context switching, pipe lining, interrupts, and multicore systems. Even within the same family clock speed may not have much to do with performance. Clock speed is just a measure of how many times a second some increment in an operation may occur. Doesn't mean it will increment it's progress in an operation, doesn't mean the operation can't happen between then, it just means the CPU will find out about the state of that between those updates.
You also need to take into account the BPU and the vector math sections of the die which this sort of metric completely ignores.
