Keep in mind that this clock rate is what more than two years ago they thought they'd be able to deliver the T5 at. This doesn't mean it really will come at that, not even that it's still planned to come at that. After all, 3+ GHz was already on Freescale's roadmap 7 years ago (for the e700 based MPC87xx), and until the P5 gets released at 2+ GHz they're even only sub-2 GHz.
