I should be very surprised if the process is linear in MHz or even if there is any accurate predictor. I really suspect that the only way to know is to benchmark. On-chip cache, the way it pipelines, internal bus width, and a lot of additional factors will come into play. In fact, I would be very surprised if two different programs get the same boost from the same hardware.
