It'd be interesting to have a study which analyse whether going in order for integer processing to increase the clock really did improve performance
Take a look at SPEC CPU 2006 results. Last I looked, a 4.7GHz Power6 had similar speed to a 3GHz Core 2 Duo 6850 in both SPECint2006 and SPECfp2006 results.
