The MSP430, released in 2010, can be clocked down to 32kHz. That's pretty much the state of the art in modern, low-power devices.

Thanks for projecting 'threatened' onto me!
You're the type of interviewer I would weed out, so by all means keep asking the question.

Clock rate != operations. It's like you didn't bother to read what I wrote.

However, most companies let you work from home nowadays.
I don't think that's even slightly true.

As an interviewee, I would roll my eyes at the ignorance of the interviewer.
This is the sort of question that reveals the ignorance of the person asking it. The correct answer is "yes". What is 'modern'? There are very modern embedded CPUs that operate in the low MHz range. How much power is being provided? A 'modern' CPU can be underclocked to ridiculous levels for power savings. What's an operation? Are we talking MOV AX, 1 or are we talking hashing a string?
It's the kind of question a dumb person asks thinking they're being quite clever.
