That's why I clicked on this article right there - why not have a 1MHz gigacore cpu?
It's just not a good idea. I can see that you value efficiency and find waste distasteful. However, you are just not considering the situation carefully...
Well, consider how much refined materials cost in space, what is wrong with sending it to the moon or to Mars? Somebody might want a bolt or some wire one day, aboard whatever ideal craft they follow up with.
