One megahertz is more than enough. That's enough power to compare like three-thousand integer values per second, which is way more than a human can do. We've got these guys out there, and they've got 3 gigahertz and more! And they're not even using them! They're playing Candy Crush for gosh sakes!

These people are wasting energy and these super-powered CPUs are a potential fire hazard and we need better regulation enforcement now!

If we restricted high-powered CPUs to people with a license and a documented need, the world would be a safer place for me.

...In all seriousness, 1hp is not serious shit. And motorcycles are significantly faster and more dangerous.
