Why doesn Apple provide the higher clock rate if it is possible without any damage/consequences?
Good question. Possibly to give computer nerds like us here at OE something to do with our spare time…. Actually, the real reason is that it doesn’t always work. If your processor or components are rated at a given frequency, they tested fine at that frequency, but when tested at higher frequencies, there is a small chance that the errors were major enough to cause unreliable performance. Usually, however, the timing tests on electronic components are fairly stringent, so there is a decent amount of play before any errors show up.
