It depends what you are comparing. 
If you are comparing verifiably functional chips in production then I would
say that the correct thing to do is replace the word trounce with "pounds the 
shit out of". If you compare them at the same clock speed then its just a silly  
irresponsible joke to attempt a comparison.
