Consider two processors $P_1$ and $P_2$ executing the same instruction set. Assume that under identical conditions, for the same input, a program running on $P_2$ takes $\text{25%}$ less time but incurs $\text{20%}$ more CPI (clock cycles per instruction) as compared to the program ... $P_1$. If the clock frequency of $P_1$ is $\text{1GHZ}$, then the clock frequency of $P_2$ (in GHz) is ______.
