Scumbria, <CPU architects tend to be notoriously dense about pipelines.>

You're not the first one to make this assertion.

On the other hand, it's not like higher frequencies just come for free, even when the pipeline is longer. Wouldn't there be higher power requirements corresponding to higher speeds? And these days, power is increasingly becoming a concern.

I have no idea how much power Willamette consumes. But if Intel plans on having a Willamette-derivative (Northwood) enter the mobile market, I can't imagine the power requirements being astronomical.
