I am just going to let you know that I have an Intel Core i7-3770K 4.2 GHz! I will be glad if you can tell me which of those CPUs has higher overall performance! I only care about performance (power consumption and temperatures are not important what so ever)!

The Celeron is a Conroe architecture chip. Since Core2 was about a 40% clock for clock increase over a P4 I would say the performance is about equal.

Yeah, roughly equal, if you extrapolate the performance from these:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+4+3.60GHz
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Celeron+420+%40+1.60GHz

to 5.0Ghz and 3.0Ghz, they're roughly both 600-610 in passmark's scoring. That's assuming you can split your workload up to utilize hyperthreading though.

They'll trade blows on various tasks, but the Celeron 420 should win most of the time, while the P4 will probably feel more responsive when loading the CPU because of hyperthreading.
For 64bit, or SIMD tasks, I'd favor the 420, but there are some things where the pure GHz and 4x larger cache will give the P4 an advantage, but not many.

From this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1658642/intel-celeron-420-intel-pentium-ghz.html we found out that an Intel Celeron 420 1.6 GHz beats an Intel Pentium 4 HT 2.8 GHz, not even being that close. I guess that this should mean that the Intel Celeron 420 3.0 GHz should also beat a Pentium 4 HT 5.0 GHz without any problems in everything, since the clock is almost 2 times higher.

Perhaps you missed the part where the OP said:


Why do you have to bring up oranges in a theoretical discussion about apples?
