Theres a 22 core Xeon that already exists, but 20ghz seems highly unlikely unless someone makes a breakthrough discovery in cooling.

don't forget the 44 that has ht so basically 88 cores

There is no 44 core?
the 22 core has hyperthreading making it 44 threads, but i've never heard of a 44 core/88 thread cpu lol.

Lets add a question. When is there a point whare having more power and more cores in 1 computer and 1 cpu just is not needed?

never, we will always need faster processing the only way I see consumers not need more powerful machines is if everything more the cloud.
