Each company posts the speed of a certain model microprocessor on their website. Newer models may even be mentioned in the Press Releases part of a public company's profile. This is the easiest way of getting a certain processor model's clockrate.

the speed of a processor doesn't always equal the power or quality of the chip.
for instance: a pentium 4 3.0 GHZ ~= core duo 1.8 GHZ ~= athalon x2 1.9 GHZ

it all depends on what kind your buying
