Xbox One CPU Clocks In At ~1.9GHz

Not always.

AMD and Intel have a Reference/Base clock (Typically 200mhz) which allows the CPU and North Bridge to be untied from the memory clock speed and thus allows you to increase clockspeeds with a mere increase in the multiplier or "Base clock" without touching on the Ram.
If you tie all the clocks together and lock them, then overclocking the Ram will overclock the rest of the system.

Microsoft would be able to increase the multiplier without much effort.

Yes. AMD APUs have the ND clock with the closed multi to the memory clock but you can manualy change at anytime.

The article says because the ND clock is X the CPU clock is 2X... that's false assumption because the multi is not the same for CPU and NB... you can have way different multi for both... so you can have a CPU running at 1.6Ghz and the ND at 900Ghz.

I don't know the Xbone CPU clock but Charlie's assumptions are false.
