Eric,

    Please remember that I am against 2 or more instructions per clock 
cycle.  It is because of many mispredict branch and other mispredict 
instructions that can reduce or degrade cycle performance.  I never agree 
with the manufacturer CPU design however I have to stick with 6502 CPU which 
I support one instruction per one cycle.  The problem is that original 6502 
CPU has to execute one instruction per two to seven cycles, but it can be 
changed to improve one instruction per one cycle.
    You have to prove your theory that 6502 CPU with 16 Bits and 32 Bits may 
be much faster with 2GHz than Intel Pentium 2GHz because it always avoid 
mispredict instructions.  Try to test the theory.
