It's not all about the cpu clock speed. For example, although it's 800Mhz the Desire Z has the newer 45Nm/Adreno 205 GPU chipset, which has better graphics capabilities than the Desire and actually has a 1Ghz max clock speed so is perhaps a clocked down version of what's in the Desire HD. If you want speed as opposed to battery life - custom ROM, overclock, job done.
I had a long chat today with a guy from Qualcomm about chipsets and their clock speeds and how they are often claiming best case speeds but then have to clock them down because they eat batteries anyway.
You should've seen the developer device they had there. About $999 and you can get hold of the latest Qualcomm chipset built into a large phone for testing/dev purposes. It's not meant for normal phone use (I bet people will use it though) and comes with stuff like 12MP camera, HDMI out, 3D accelerometers, GPS, wifi, hooks into the chips so you can measure power use, all kinds of stuff.. fucking awesome device.
