If you want to "prove" this, grab yourself a wave form analyzer, hook into the clock signal of the pinout, and check it out. Jeezuz, you've haven't proven shit.
Go read the documentation on the L2 caches. The Coppermine's L2 cache will run at 1/1, ie 700 Mhz. The Athalon doesn't scale 1/1 up to those speeds. At 700Mhz the Athalon's L2 cache is only running at 700/2=350 Mhz. (moving on up it will move to 1/3, and 1/4) So real-world peformance the coppermine will start catching up quick.
