Re: "If AMD are planning to ship product within the next three months then presumably they have produced working samples of the core that is going into production? If so, wouldn't you expect them to hand select one of these samples that performs ABOVE the target spec for mass yield of a production run?"

Exactly! They would pick am outlier and jack up the voltage. Intel no doubt did it and hit 800Mhz. AMD did it and hit 600Mhz.
