I understand that you assume that the speed of chess programs is proportional to
the number of the mhz.

Do you have any evidence for it?

I know that there are other factors that influence the speed of programs and not
only the mhz(for example chess system tal is 100% faster in k6-3 than in k6-2
with the same mhz so there is no correct formula for all chess programs).

Is there a known correct formula to compare between different computers?

I mean a formula with bounds that will be correct for all programs.

It can say for all programs things similiar to the following sentence
p4 1.4GH is at least 50% faster than AMD 450 k6-2 and at most 200% faster.
