You can't exactly just shove a turbo on an under-powerd commuter I4 engine (fuel efficient) and expect it to turn out well. I wouldn't imagine just upping the vcore and the frequency clock will just magically make it faster and compete at the same level as an intel chip. I'm deeply skeptical as a developer, you -will- get compiler errors, and it's going to suck for a while.

> You can't exactly just shove a turbo on an under-powerd commuter I4 engine (fuel efficient) and expect it to turn out well. Isn’t this the exact concept of the VAG EA888 motor used in the Audi A4 and extended all the way up to the S3? That said, the rumored chip is an actively cooled 12 core 5nm part which is more like an RS3 motor with extra cores/ cylinders

Well, it entirely depends on how they designed the chip. If they planned ahead they could design the chip for 4Ghz ahead of schedule and then take advantage of the higher frequency once they decide to actually release a desktop or laptop with an ARM chip. I don't believe that Apple did this so they will either create a new chip exclusively for desktop/laptop or they just keep the low frequency.
