"It will have a larger pipeline," the representative said. "The larger the pipeline, you can do less work per clock and speed up the processor."
The key word is LESS work per clock cycle so that means it will process slower, but the gigahertz will be higher. WE WANT MORE WORK PER CLOCK CYCLE like AMD does.
That is like a person doing less work in an 8 hour day and getting paid more for it. Makes no sense to me.
I guess Intel just likes to play on the average consumer that thinks Megahertz/Gigahertz is the only thing that matters. It's sad really that a company like Intel is willing to stoop so low to sell a product.
