They still overclock just as they like to "root" their mobile devices and think they are out of style if their mobile device is more than two months old! :-D It's all this "pile on" to survive over population. As a developer I watch these geeks asking how to do crazy things on mobile devices they were never intended to do so they can win their rice bowl.
