Processor speeds are not necessarily a good comparator anyway given that things like caches and core counts are a thing.

To first order processor speed is a very good indicator of performance when comparing similar core count products.

If the CPUs being compared are of similar generations (e.g. Intel 10th gen vs. Intel 11th gen, etc.), I agree. But trying to compare across distinct generations is a bad idea.
