More cores are faster cores?

[zip accident]

I was reading a review of a new Intel chip capable of 6.2 GHz under pretty extreme cooling,

And I wondered why everyone seems to make chips with the most cores be the fastest. I mean, obviously it's a marketing thing, you want the most expensive to be the best, but how is it that nobody is making a best-beater that has less cores but runs them faster?

Obviously in multicored tests it would probably not be that good, but it could totally wipe out the current best and others like it in single cored tests, which are currently still tested, there were single core tests in the review I read.

You'd want lots and lots of many cache for it, a trip to the heap will take heaps of clock-cycles.
