why does CPUs/CPU cores seem to be capped at 3 – 4 Ghz since almost a decade?

Picture this: you’ve got a pile of rocks, and you need to move them all to a spot 10m (or yards or 30 bananas or whatever) away. You have 1 guy sprinting back and forth as fast as possible, they’ve trained for this. Lots of energy but undeniably fast, he can go back and forth 5 times in 10 seconds. That’s pushing the cycles beyond 3-4GHz. Now imagine the same situation, but instead of 1 sprinty boi you’ve got 5 people jogging. Takes them 10 seconds to jog back and forth once. Still gets 5 rocks over the line in the same time though, except they spend a lot less energy overall, they can make do with a good sammij rather than high-end workout food.
