I know that Toshiba MeP-h1works at 1Ghz clock speed. But is there any
other processor cores with about 1.5Ghz clock speed available? IBM?
Intel? AMD? MIPS?

IBM, Intel and AMD all sell some 1.5GHz chips, as does Freescale
(formerly Motorola's semiconductor devision). There are probably a
handful of others as well, 1.5GHz isn't all that high of a speed
anymore. It's more a question of what ISA you're looking for, what
features you need, power consumption constraints, etc. If you're very
flexible on those sorts of things, a simple Intel Celeron-M processor
would probably do the trick. They're available in the ~1.5GHz range
and are quite easy to find for well under $100.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm not looking for commercial processor chips, but IP cores which can
be synthesised and reused in one of my SoC designs. Of course,
mainframe 64-bit ISAs is preferable, such as Power/PowerPC, IA64 or
SPARC64 etc. Power consumption and other characters are not very
important.

a synthesizable core that gets 1.5 GHz is a stretch. And if you want it
for a SOC then it is someone's IP that you would have to license, so why
not contact the IP providers directly?

The AMD 1.6GHz Sempron 2800+, available in Socket 754 and (I think) AM2, is
downright cheap! Under $50. Depends on whether you have DDR memory (754)
or DDR2 (AM2) you want to use.
