Unlikely. The over-gigahertz domain is not as attractive as such clock speeds have severe consumption implications on current (and next year's) fabrication processes. Multi-core processors make a lot more sense, as they can provide a good balance between raw power and consumption. The Osprey and OMAP4 are good examples of exploring that domain.
