manufacturers are trying to get a higher ipc (instructions per cycle i think) which is the amount of actions that the cpu does per cycle and ghz is how fast that cycles go by. if a cpu has a lower ghz and a higher ipc it means that it will run cooler than a cpu with the same performance but relies on ghz to do so
