Now PC chips are running with clock speeds of 2 gigahertz, or 2 billion clock cycles a second.

FORBES: Silicon Confusion

Both chips handle information differently during clock cycles, meaning that comparing them on clock cycles alone only tells part of the performance story.

Amassing a huge supply of clock cycles won't be easy, either.

But clock cycles are only part of the equation.
