not quite, there is overhead associated with dual and up systems so you can't just add up the cycles and declare a winner (though cycles are not the end all be all of performance that has been built up around it.)
To give you a idea of this CPU's power.
IBM PPC 970:
SPECint2000
- 937 @ 1.8 GHz
SPECfp2000
- 1051 @ 1.8 GHz
Pentium IV @ 3.06 GHz:
SPECint2000
- 1032 @ 3.06 GHz
SPECfp2000
- 1092 @ 3.06 GHz
Nearly the same performance at half the cycles and this is rev A of the chip vs a much more refinded PIV.
