E - <Without regard to whether or not AMD might actually have 1GHz now, does this reason for not releasing it have any merit in your opinion?

In my opinion, yes it does. Very much so. If AMD released a 1GHz with an off die cache with some non-optimum divider, it might look bad relative to the benchmarks.

So maybe it's a race for Intel to get to 1GHz with current core and AMD to implement an on-die cache that still enables high MHz??? Could be. Good point, IMO.
