If a 1 MHz 6502 could match a 4MHz Z80 then that would mean a C64 could match a ZX Spectrum (which was clocked at 3.5 MHz) for performance in not sprite blittin

If a 1 MHz 6502 could match a 4MHz Z80 then that would mean a C64 could match a ZX Spectrum (which was clocked at 3.5 MHz) for performance in not sprite blitting scenarios.
Which it couldn't.
The spectrum smashed the C64 for speed of numerical operations, that's why the specrrum had lots of wireframe and solid filled 3d games and the C64 didn't.
Like, Carrier Command on the Spectrum vs the abomination that appeared under the Carrier Command logo that appeared on the Commodore.
