Gigahertz versus cores — what makes a good phone chip?

Quick Summary:

There is no answer to this because the right mix of the number of cores, their speed, and the software using them is what's really important.

Is core clock speed more important than the number of cores? Yes, No.Sometimes.Maybe.

If one core can do 100,000 things per second (no CPU core is this slow but it's an easy number) then five cores can do 500,000 things per second.
