Dual Core AMD will theoretically be faster than the Intel solution for certain things and vice versa.
As far as the AMD naming convention, yes and no. Yes, they used to be rated the speed. No, they aren't rated that way anymore (Intel adopted a similarly new naming convention). AMD labels them as the speed which corresponds to the speed at which the CPU would run when compared to other CPUs (read: Intel).
AMD CPUs are faster for gaming at this moment.
