Dumb question- Pentium 4 Prescott on modern node?

This question popped into my mind today, I am curious about how far overclockers could push a Prescott P4 of it ran on like a 5nm node, could it really hit 10ghz? It would be so fun to tinker with that! Additionally, if you made something like a Core2 or a westmere Xeon on that, how many cores could you fit? 24 core Xeon at 5 ghz?
 
The OC record of the original P4 was 8GHz, and a Celeron version hit 8.47. Top frequencies are as much process node ability and transistor design. I'd imagine a modern node P4 would top out at the same 9ish GHz as the current Intel record.

E-cores are slightly denser than anything pre-Sandy Bridge, so how many you can fit is dependent on what your die size target is. There was a single die 34 P-core Raptor Cove chip that was pretty big, so 100-150 old cores (gotta have room for fabric) at 5GHz is not out of the question if the voltage and cooling potential exists.
