>clock speeds
If you think that this is all there is to CPU performance, you clearly know nothing.

That assumption would also assume that I believe the FX9350 performs better than Kaby Lake. I am sad that you think anyone could be that ignorant.
I'd just like to see it from a design standpoint.
>tfw the most prominent speed demon microarchitecture limited potential clock speeds by having to have parts of it clocked 2x higher

Architectures that push clock frequencies up to above 5-6 GHz exist, it's just that they have little practical applications and require liquid nitrogen cooling systems.

This reaches 5.5GHz with water cooling.

Imagine the cooler on that baby!
