They go against overclocking and saying how their lifetime is going down the sewer, but wasn't the SGS II overclocked like half a month prior to launch? There was no time to implement a new SoC in half a month. Going by what joerg_rw says, we should sue Samsung for lowering our CPU's lifetime. Did anyone complain? No, the phone got praised for being the fastest in the mobile industry.

Based on this, the question rises, how much are this phones actually downclocked in the cheapest SoC variant? Desire Z can go from 800MHz to 1.8GHz even 2GHz, a crazy jump. Apple, iirc, officially stated that 3GS A8 was downclocked to 600MHz from the actual 833MHz (3440 also 800MHz). How many Moto Droids have actually died at 1.3GHz. People have been benchmarking the said frequency for hours and playing emulators (same with the N900)?

BTW, weren't you the one that ran min max 1GHz on your N900 for a while?
