Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz & 1.5GHz

Again we get a similar picture painted here, the Pentium 4 still isn't cutting it in today's benchmarks.

Another example of where a higher clocked Pentium 4 could come in handy is in this MedMCAD test where the Pentium 4 at 1.5GHz has the slight advantage and could definitely take a clear lead if clocked even higher. Unfortunately for Intel, it seems as if AMD will always be hovering around the same clock frequency as the Pentium 4, at least for next year, with an Athlon.
