Don't know why from a 3.2 GHz CPU they are going for half clock speed.

because it has 2x the cores and next=gen is far more GPU focused than CPU.

So, CPU clock means nothing? What if it was 8 core 3.0 GHz CPU?

It would consume too much power and produce too much heat for a console. Keep in mind that the CPU in the 360 was pretty inefficient clock for clock by today's standard, newer architecture helps. Clock speed is not the only factor.
