The reason that AMD brands it as a 2800+ is because they believe (or want you to believe) that it is equivalent to a 2.8 GHz P4. Generally speaking, this is fairly accurate.

If you want the details here's one early review of the 2800+ (http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=1718&p=1) including comparisons to several P4s. Google around and you'll find tons more reviews.
