And if the frequencies are true, you can be 100% sure amd is confident to get 1/3 more apples in 1 cycle then Intel...
overall performance is what matters, who cares if its 10 instrutions x 2000 cycles, or 7 instructions by 3000cycles, its whatever gets the work done. IPC is only part of the metric.

Higher IPC doesn't neccesarily mean better performance per watt, and certainly doesn't mean better performance.
