Only in a certain sense. You can only turn the voltage so high before things melt, and you can only turn the clocks so high until you crash, and then that's basically it, you can't go any faster. The perfect core could be dialed from fanless to water cooling with linear performance, but it doesn't quite exist today. Intel chips have top end, Apple chips have low end, but an i7 fed 3W isn't going to perform and an M1 can't take any more voltage. The tension is figuring out how to build very large structures to perform useful work with gobs of power, yet still scale down to low power budgets. Imagine a core that can dynamically morph from P core to E core & back on the fly.
