This is easy math,

dual 1.2Ghz athlon MP (palomino) is nearly 20% faster than a
dual 1.7Ghz Xeon P4 for diep. see aceshardware.com with all
testresults.

Logically if you increase Mhz with 300, which is 15%, then it won't
be 15% faster that P4. It will be way less than 15% faster.

More like 8% or something than 15%.

In short that's always less than 20%.

Now 1.4Ghz K7 is again faster than the 1.2Ghz Palomino, about 10%.

You can do the math!
