Yeah, for a while AMD had a more efficient microarchitecture, and  
lower clock speed, than the competing Intel CPUs.  That stopped with  
the the Pentium-M (more or less), and is no longer the case with any  
of the "Core 2" chips (AFAIK.)  That's why Intel CPUs recently had a  
DROP in clock rate (top clock speed used to be 3.6GHz, and dropped to  
something like 2.6 for the core2 cpus, but the new ones were still  
faster.)

I can't answer your original question, but you're more likely to get  
an answer on some gamer forum that discusses that particular game.   
Gamers are a very created sort, in a rather different way than PIC  
programmers...  Also watch out for malware.
