I kinda have a split view:

If it actually sells more, then it's definately good for me.

BUT if I was the average Joe, and found out that the XP1700 wasn't 1700 mhz, I'd just say "Screw AMD, I'll stick with Intel, the brand I have seen in commercials"

Personally, I know the naming system, and it might even help me sell a few computers, and it does more accurately compare the speed to the Pentium.
