One megahertz is more than enough. That's enough power to compare like three-thousand integer values per second, which is way more than a human can do. We've got these guys out there, and they've got 3 gigahertz and more! And they're not even using them! They're playing Candy Crush for gosh sakes!

These people are wasting energy and these super-powered CPUs are a potential fire hazard and we need better regulation enforcement now!

If we restricted high-powered CPUs to people with a license and a documented need, the world would be a safer place for me.

...In all seriousness, 1hp is not serious shit. And motorcycles are significantly faster and more dangerous.

The difference is that adding MHz will only make the CPU noisy, not make it unridable. 1HP @ 3k RPM at the shaft is insane.
