> "What could we do with today’s manufacturing techniques if we focused on faster transistors more than smaller ones? AFAIK almost nobody has been working on this since the game has been to use more transistors to implement more features and hacks instead."
Plenty of smart people spent lots of money trying it and as it happens the physics doesn't work out. There are countless articles explaining why processor clock speed isn't increasing, e.g.
