I used to work at intel. I remember when people complained how our hz weren't as fast as the apple hz at the time. So i remember people complaining about how a 2ghz chip was the same speed as 800Mhz apple. So in some sense it's slightly different than nanometers, it still was a marketing thing. So yes hz are real. yes clocks are real. The relevance of the hz was what was in question. However with nanometers, it is kindof the opposite. The nm thing is an advertisement thing but it is relevant to performance.
