With the Prime using a built-in Lithium rechargeable battery, power usage is less of a concern than if it were using disposable alkaline batteries, so there is the possibility that it'll run at 792MHz anyway (perhaps switchable by an HP-PPL command).

A prime running at almost twice the speed of its predecessor and with an improved CPU architecture is something I would like to see!

The biggest problem is a total absence of bricks & mortar stores selling the Prime, so you can't go and look at what you're buying. You have to rely on online stores actually knowing in the first place and providing accurate information on their websites for you to make an informed choice whether or not to hit that "buy" button.

I already have two Rev. C Primes but will happily go out and buy a G2 when it becomes available.
