*laugh* but complaints about overclocking are not a reasonable concern of
the chip manufacturer.

Well, yes and no. A chip manufacturer loves it when chips can clock high--it means there is plenty of clock scalability at the current process and tape-out design. Poor overclocking means...well, there isn't. Sure, they ultimately don't care if an end user can only hit 2.3GHz or 2.7GHz, but overclocking is a very valid metric of design/process headroom.

Besides, a chip can still suck if it sucks for end users (even if only a segment of end users). :)
