I'm sure I've just misunderstood, but how can higher clocks
not equal more performance? OK, comparing the clock speeds of differing CPU architectures is like apples to oranges, but saying that higher clock frequencies on the same architecture doesn't equate to a faster CPU is just wrong. That or everyone that overclocks their hardware is living under a fallacy.
I would have liked to see higher speeds before more cores, at least until the majority of software is truly multithreaded.
BTW, Moore's Law (in layman's terms) only says that the number of transistors on an IC will double every 24 months, nothing about clock speeds.
