**facepalm** you people seriously don't do your research, AMD CPUs have not had a FSB since K7 (i believe, might be K6) they have an internal memory controller (which is why they beat P4s hands down) and use a point-to-point technology called Hypertransport (which is what you are confusing for FSB clocks)
Now, AMDs K7 architecture did beat the P4s architecture clock for clock, but the P4 eventually made up for that with vastly higher clocks. AMD countered with the K8 architecture which was much more efficient and beat all single core P4s. They then came out with the X2s which held the performance crown until the C2Ds came out (for 5 years AMD held the crown)
Clocks do not mean crap if the architecture sucks, AMD taught Intel that lesson the hard way. My next point is that AMD would probably be doing better if they created a DDR3 memory controller already. Oh, and if you guys didn't hear, the new SB750 chipset allows higher OCs with X4s.
Oh, and a major reason why AMDs CPUs are sucking it up is because their L2 cache is way too low for gaming code, if you check out the transitor counts of the Intel CPUs you'll see that more than half of them are for cache.
For the record, I know that Intel hold the performance crown now, don't flame me just because I like AMD, and if you do, do your research.
