Clock per clock is a bad metric in comparing how fast CPUs are, it's like normalizing for engine CC or RPM. CPU designers make a chip do more work per clock cycle while trading off how fast it can clock, and vice versa. (It can be a useful number in analyzing CPU design tradeoffs or other details of course)
