"Looks feasible only at low frequency. "

Define "low". A 2GHz, 8 core processor would sing on certain benchmarks. Granted, it would suck at single threaded benchmarks, but it isn't really aimed there.

"Guess a CPU-product beyond 120W at low clockspeed would easily make it a laughing stock instead of earning bragging rights. "

At 1GHz, you have a point. At twice or more, I don't think so.
