Why do AMD processors seem to run more slowly?

Why do AMD processors seem to run more slowly?

I am looking for a new (budget) desktop computer and one thing I've noticed is the AMD versions seem to have processors that run notably more slowly.
As an example, there's plenty of Acer Aspires with Intel I3s or I5s whose processors run at 3.3gHz.
But in the same range, an AMD machine runs at just 2.2gHz.
Does this matter? Why would this be the case?
Thanks in advance
