Frequency is not an independent variable. The same CPU core design decisions that result in higher IPC will often at the same time result in a lower frequency possible in a given process node, as well as higher power consumption and heat. There is no free lunch.
I said the Unleashed performs very similar to the original Pi 3, which I have. The original Pi 3 runs at 1.2 GHz and has limited dual issue. Those are simple facts. The existence of a later model that runs at 1.4 GHz is completely irrelevant to my comparison.
U84 was announced exactly one year ago. It's absolutely normal that there is no news now. It takes everyone, including ARM and their licencees, two to three years to go from announcement of a core to actual chips shipping using it.
The A72, for example was announced in February 2015. It took a couple of years for it to appear in high end smartphones, and 4.5 years to get into a cheap SBC (the Pi 4).
The same goes for the A53. It was announced in October 2012, was in SoCs such as the Snapdragon 41x and Exynos 75xx in 2015 and was in the Pi 3 in February 2016.
This is normal and expected.
