Agreed. I run groundwater simulation models that take 48 hours to complete. My Xeon CPU is the bottleneck.
At my charge out rate of $200/hour, a modest increase in CPU speed could lead to saving over $1000 per model run.
But Xeons aren't overclockable, and our IT department wouldn't allow them to be overclocked even if they could be.
So, yes MHz/GHz still matters. But, no I'm not too fussed about the overclocking issue in the article.
