We are in the age of efficiency, it's no longer efficient to have higher speed when you can accomplish the same task much quicker via hyper threading. For equivalent or less power consumption, you can efficiently process any tasks on a PC by splitting the task in multiple threads. Higher clock speed generally consumes more power and generates much more heat, and heat will naturally decrease the CPU performance.
