What he advocates makes sense. Marketing for classical computers used to make hay about how fast the CPU was in Khz, Mhz, Ghz. This is done less now since people recognize that is just one of several factors when comparing devices. It's still mentioned, just alongside the architecture, ram, GPU, etc. It can be hard to compare if you're not up on all the differences.

People now buy CPUs and GPUs based on primarily one index: how many fps their favorite games can run at their desired resolution and quality. So manufacturers of QCs should do the same by specifying what problems at what sizes their hardware is best at solving.
