Apple's fastest new MacBook Pro is slowed down by heat

No, it’s because making software that parallelizes well is hard. For most of the kinds of software that computers are commonly used for (web browsers, office suites, etc), making it run well on lots of slow cores is significantly more difficult than making it run well on just one fast core.

That is pretty much what I was trying to put forth- parallelization is hard.
Granted, we had a fun time getting a specific processor speed with as many cores as Intel could reliably cram into that die running at that speed- the server is an ESX host that has a machine running on it which has some rather specific processor requirements.
