"I was trying to educate ephud on the matter of internal device variability for years" Yeah, I know. I pointed out an article in EE Times on this issue over a year ago. Suffice it to say that yield is no longer primarily a function of defect density. And Intel doesn't have the corner on this knowledge, far from it. "apparently based on proper testing, Intel sells Core parts as 1.86-2.93GHz, and not as 4GHz+ parts as per some anecdotic evidence." Overclockability as a measure of the health or capability of the process is going out the window. Especially for samples sent to reviewers. Cherry picking samples, a time-honored tradition, says even less about potential than it has before.
