P4 is also a whole other issue due to leakage at extremely high frequencies.
Atom 1.33GHz (45nm) has a lower CPU score than a Celeron 353 900MHz (90nm) and that's with a worse companion chipset aswell. Process will always be beaten by a superior architecture, even if it's only clock for clock.

R600 was ATI's Netburst, RV670 was it's Core Duo & RV770 is their Allendale. Still no Conroe yet though.
