Intel sells Xeon X5698 running at 4.4GHz with 2 cores and 12MB cache. This is not for desktop users, but for thosue who have to pay per-core licensing fees!
It's based on Westmere achitecture, that has quite high cache latencies. Sandy Bridge seems to be stuck at about 4GHz, probably because of low-latency design.
