That's not true in general.
MIPS the architecture is unrelated to MIPS the processor speed. The
relationship between clock speed and BogoMIPS is tabulated on the
Wikipedia page[1].
If they say it's a 400MHz processor then that is what it is (or they are
in breach of the trade descriptions act or maybe the Unfair Commercial
Practices Directive), but neither BogoMIPS or clocks speeds provide a
useful comparison of performance other than within a single architecture.
