It is all a marketing scheme to sell more processors, Intel obviously owns the MHZ market boasting 2.2 and 2.4 Ghz processors for the consumer, I know Mhz means jack crap to the informed consumer, so AMD feels that it needs to use this bogus and radomly created PR system to compeate. If you look at the releases of the Intel processors, AMD isn't short behind they always try to stay on par with the latest processor or 100 points of PR behind, for example when the P4 2 Ghz came out they had to have this 1900+ or 2000+. So when the 2.4 Ghz becomes more mainstream AMD will have to add another 66 Mhz to their current processor and make it a 2300+ or 2400+. Thats proof that its totally made up. Furthermore its a fact that AMD processors can do much more work per clock cycle, and Intel can compeate with that by adding more cycle's to their processors, but I wouldn't go as far to say its cheating
