Re: "Kudos to Intel, but this isn't any better than cranking up the voltage a notch or two to improve speed bins. It seems clear to me that the end result is substandard--a reduction in long term processor reliability."

Really? Where's your data to back this up?

When AMD jacked up the voltage to get their parts to limp along at higher MHz we were told that IBM Compaq HP etc would never accept parts unless there was data to prove there was no compromise in reliability. Seems to me that argument that you used before still applies here. I think you guys are just suffering from "process" envy.
