Intel Core i5-9600K Stock and 5.1GHz Overclock Benchmarks Leaked

Lastly I would observe that the logic you put forth formed some of the basis for building ARM server CPU's with more cores then traditional Intel products (that and lower power consumption). For certain applications immediate or concurrent servicing is just more important then absolute speed. Unfortunately for the companies wading their toes into that particular market, AMD has managed to narrow the gap in providing both high thread count AND high frequency (albeit without the reduction in power consumption).

I would surmise that in the coming years, AMD will be releasing some much lower power high core server chips. The advantage they'll have is that with better and better turbo algorithms, those chips will become the best of both worlds. Able to accelerate a few cores to very high clock speeds, when needed, yet most of the time being very low power usage for applications that don't demand a few threads run at high speeds.

There would certainly be a market for it. Ironically, in fact, for the same sort of web servers which are handling this very discussion thread.

In real world gaming performance, probably won't be much faster than my 3rd gen Ivy Bridge i5. Most games don't even use more than 2 cores.

Stop trolling. Most games today use more than 2 cores. Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, GTAV, Overwatch, PUBG, The Division, GR Wildlands, etc. the list could literally go on for quite some time.
