Clock speed is a bit less important than generational uarch improvements (IPC). I’d prefer a 20% improvement in IPC over a 20% increase in clock speed because the former uses less power overall.
So to me, clock speed isn’t particularly interesting, benchmarks are. And the benchmarks for this gen aren’t particularly interesting.
