x86 vs MIPS

The article says "Longsoon-2F will operate at a frequency of 1.2 to 1.5GHz, matching the speed of the low-end Pentium 4 processor"

Just because it runs at the same Hertz dosn't mean they're the same speed, there are diffrence in the instruction sets, and a different compiler backend will be used both of witch have an impact on the final speed of a program.

Anyone know how 1.2GHz on MIPS compares to 1.2GHz on X86?
