Impossible increase. They'd have to know BEFORE launch that every single unit was capable of X clockspeed before shipping, because as we saw with Xbox even a small failure % rate over 5 years is a HUGE disaster.

I was expecting say 2-3% if this was done. Not double. WTF.

Again, they'd have to know every unit could do that speed. And they didn't, or they'd have launched higher. It's not about heat/power, it's about manufacturing validation.

2-3%? I agree that 300% is FAR too high, but you can easily OC a CPU by 15-20% without running into any cooling or stability issues. 1,6GHz would sound reasonable.
