Clock speed is not all the criteria, the two processors have diffrerent architecture, both processor do not do the same amount of work per clock cycle, am AMD is programmed to do more than an in intel per clock cycles,
then there is also the cache layout,
on-die memory controller,
hypertransport etc.

Numerous factors that all add up.
