A family member asked me about laptops, and I was surprised to see a modern laptop with a 1.0 GHz clock speed! The Intel Core i5-1035G1 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196603/intel-core-i5-1035g1-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-60-ghz.html can dynamically scale up to 3.6 GHz. Seems like manufacturers are no longer scared of small clock speeds in marketing.
