If I'm comparing dedicated Linux hosting offers, is there a rule of

One hosting company suggested I "upgrade" from a machine with an Intel
Celeron 2.8 Ghz to a machine with an Intel Celeron 430 1.8 Ghz. At
first I wondered why the supposedly better one would have a smaller Ghz
number. But I know that an X Ghz processor is not necessarily faster
than a Y Ghz processor just because X > Y. But in that case, is there a
rule for determining which is better? A published list that lists all
processors in order by their speed (assuming a fixed task like running a
busy Web server)?

The "faster one" is likely to be the one running on a chipset which offers
faster disc access.
