CPU and clock rate
Actually, the clock cycle wont tell the speed at wich a single transistor can switch, but, how much time it does take for a signal to travel the slowest/longest path. A single cmos transistor on a mod …

Why long pipelines are preferred over high CPU clock?
Actually, the division of the CPU into multiple stages and the pipelining of such stages is what ALLOWS for higher clock speeds. If instead of multiple stages the whole CPU was composed of a single st …

How can a CPU dynamically change its clock frequency?
Well, on modern operating systems there is something called "task scheduler". It runs periodically (very fast) and selects (from a list) wich next task to execute. Tasks can be at many states, like se …

Can a CPUs speed be increased by (physically) upgrading the CPU clock?
Besides what others said, electron propagation DOES matter but not on whole circuits but on the transistors itself. As soon as the electromagnetic wave reaches a transistor it MUST move electrons (Tha …
