"No.. the 1Ghz Kryotech was an 800Mhz natural part.

This is speculation. I'm an Intel employee, but my opinions never reflect those of my employer. I have no inside info on other companies uP speeds, but I believe the company being discussed has a very public track record of selling bins before they're ready rather than hoarding bins for later use.
