You can post all the links you want, but you seem to be missing the point.

1.) The XP 1800+ runs at an actual 1.53 ghz.

2.) It performs a little faster than a P4 1.8 ghz, close to a P4 2 ghz in
benchmarks, games and apps.

The mistake that most people make in comparing the two is not realizing that
the Athlon handles more instructions per clock cycle than the Pentium IV.
The post that started all this claimed that the Athlon XP 1800+ was the
equivalent of a Pentium IV running at 1.5 ghz. That's just not true. The P4
1.5 is slower, and not just by a little bit.

In fact, test after test at site after site shows that AT THE SAME ACTUAL
CLOCK SPEED the Athlon wins. On the other hand, comparing an XP 1800+ to a
P4 1.8 is about right, though I'd pick the Athlon for most apps and games
and save some bucks in the process.

That's the whole reason AMD started using a "performance rating" higher than
the actual clock speed, so people who do their homework wouldn't be fooled
by the higher numbers.

Apparently some people still are. But don't take my word for it, read the
cpu reviews at www.anandtech.com or www.tomshardware.com or anywhere else
they match the two.
