> Also you'd have to invent a sales/marketing scheme as an alternative to the existing one that is based on increasing clock rates. GHz is to the PC what HP (horsepower) is to the car. The GHz race has been over for a long time. Since Intel Core (and AMD Zen, I think; at least AMD Bulldozer had in my opinion a different design philosophy), it is all about smarter cores that do more in less clock steps. Also since AMD Zen, the "number of core race" has regained traction. Finally, in particular Intel tries to promote extra-wide SIMD instructions (AVX-512).
