Yep.. You are missing something.. You see, there is more to a computer's power than it's CPU's MHz rating.
For starters, an effecient architecture can ( and will, see sony playstation ) compensate for a slower CPU. Other than that, the CPU's clock speed is a *very* rough indicator of it's actual speed. A 68060 at 50MHz is a lot faster than a 68030 at 50MHz..
Besides, this lowly 68060 at 50MHz ( which is the norm these days, 25MHz chips are rarely used ) has enough processing power to do a number of things at once ( including playing back MP3's for instance ).
And don't forget, a lot of people only 'need' that faster CPU to play better games...
