Ten,

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.

Deeper pipelines will use more power because the CMOS transistors spend a greater percentage of the time switching, and because they require more latches.
