I'm glad to see speeds are increasing again, there are some work loads that you can't just throw more cores at.

But the power due to these frequencies is getting crazy...

Unfortunately yeah. So much energy wasted as heat.

Speeds can’t increase forever though because physics. I was under the impression 5ghz was near the theoretical limit, so I don’t believe we’ll see 7ghz any time soon.

Plus, it was one less thing to worry about when picking a CPU since most of them have the same speed

The real question to me is does it come with Microsoft Pluton or not?

First time hearing about it. Link for others who are also wondering what Microsoft Pluton is:
