I would have thought that 6C/12T CPU can reach 4GHz on all cores with 125W TDP. But it seems, I was wrong.

Terrible specs.
The new i7, same cores and slower base and turbo.. oh dear.

Why do we still these comments? Whos the F cares about clock speeds if the IPC improvements more than makes up for that?

it matters when comparing Intel to Intel. With lower clocks you end up with less of a net increase in performance over all compared to the previous gen.
Richard Nutman
Even with the IPC improvements, the lower clock is taking part of that away. I think the performance is going to be underwhelming compared to 10th series.
The i9 losing 2 cores, it performs significantly worse in multithreaded workloads.

Think i'm going for a Non-K, seems FPS wise it's not a big deal in gaming.

With a base frequency difference of 200 mhz in the 4Gzh realm i do not think you seen any stolen performance.
the IPC improvements bring a cost of watt used, because of more transistor switching, per clock, without changing the underline technology of material i think those processor will be overall faster by a notch.
You will get more performance compared to the 10th gen per watt used, how you get that is intel business clock or ipc we should not complain.

We're only talking a ~2% lower clock here. By your logic, that means the 2200G is a worse product than the A12-9800. Same socket, same company, same thread count, same wattage, etc, but the 9800 is clocked higher. @vazup isn't wrong to question why we're making a fuss about something pretty insignificant compared to the overall IPC performance gains.
We don't want another Pentium 4 situation on our hands. We want lower clock speeds without sacrificing performance. That's what Intel is doing. This is a good thing.
Undying
So i7 and i9 is the same this gen? Holy crap intel lost it.
Kool64
No because obviously the IOC gain is significant enough to overcome lower clock speeds but 15%(just a number) IPC gains on the same or greater clock speeds is still more significant than 15% at slightly lower speeds.

Specs are just disappointing....only 8 cores....it seems Intel just wants to grab the gaming performance crown with this gen, but let´s wait and see for real performance reviews....AMD is clearly still ahead in core count, it makes them more usable for non gamer....

The lower clocks only exist so Intel can say the CPUs still have a TDP of 125w. In real conditions the turbo is going to kick in almost all the times and the TDP is going to shoot up.
The 200Mhz lower clocks are academical, at best, so Intel can say that TDP is still decent, nothing more.
The only thing missing is the prices, that could make or break this release.
