Well, Intel and AMD desktop CPU's have been overclocked since their existence. Well, close enough.
But they still do not support overclocking one bit even though that's a big factor when most geeks purchase their PCs. (overclockability = popular)

eg. Intel i7 860 is half the price of i7 870 cpu. But if you have any half-decent motherboard, it takes literally 30seconds to overclock 860 to 870 speed. (and have 100% identical stability, yes, really)

If you were Intel, would this bother you? Yes. =P
