Superdiode precision signal rectifier

"superdiode" configuration vs standard diode.  This is a basic version of the circuitry used in nearly all voltmeters for reading AC voltages.

your "superdiode" looks stupid if it comes to frequencies above 1MHz or more....

That is one of the weaknesses of this configuration, the operating frequency is limited by the slew rate of the op amp, which is usually less than a few hundred kilohertz.
