See it like this:
Clockspeed measures how many operations your proc does on a second or so i think, so if you only see it like that. The 2.4c (2.4GHz) does more ops than the Barton 2500+(1.6GHz).
But you have to look at the FSB, the 2.4c comes with a standard 200Mhz, and the barton with 166 MHz. Now the FSB measures how many instructions your system can transfer on a second. So its given, with 2.4c you have more instructions being sent to you cpu per sec.
Now for prices,
Intel 2.4c goes around for $170, for that you get 2.4GHz & 200 FSB
Barton 2500+ goes around for $90, for that you get 1.66 GHz and 166 FSB
Now if you OC a barton to 200 FSB, you end up getting 2.2 GHz and 200 FSB, and that's for $90!
you get the picture....
And thats without thinking of mobos, for the Northwood core, the prices are almost reaching $200, and for the barton, the both contenders ASUS and ABIT are about $100 each.
With Intel you end up spending $370 for proc & mobo
With AMD you end up spending $190 for proc $ mobo
