I think what scarmig is getting at is - wouldn't it be better to have 1 2ghz core and 3 1ghz cores, rather than 4 1.5 ghz cores.
I don't know the answer myself, and would be interested if someone could clarify why Intel don't make quad cores with one core being faster than the others.
My best guess is that it's hard to keep things in sync if you have different cores on different frequencies or multipliers.
