Heard about it for long time, but never come to market.

Answer to question 1:
AMD has a processor rating on all models; for example, an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ running at 1.67ghz can compete with a P4 2.0ghz. The focus is of the QuantiSpeed architecture of the processor; which allows higher performance through chip architecture rather than clock speed.
Answer to question 2:
Intel Itanium / Itanium 2 (scheduled to be released); as an example; but they never really caught on in the server market.
