I know. Just didn't mention it. But if they went only for 900-950MHz the gap would have decreased quite ab it. Totally closing up would've needed 1200MHz though.
Now the 856MHz they clocked up didn't hurt yield rates, cooling or power consumption as it seems. Smart guess, that was possible with the intended Vcore, so power consumption wans't that much of a problem.
Going for 900MHz might already have needed a higher Vcore, way lower yield, more heat...
Sony now has the problem that clocking up CPU's might not work on millions of sold consoles. Even if it works for 80% you'd have millions of pissed consumers.
Same goes for MS. Future revisions could in theory close the gap. But millions of old consoles would emulate an electric grill for a very short time and than start emulating a clunky door stopper.
