Once again, the pre-binned CPUs are for users who want to be guaranteed overclocks and clock speeds on their unlocked parts as you can see that just a quarter of the chips can achieve overclock beyond 5.0 GHz. Regardless, a 100-200 MHz difference in clock speeds won’t yield any major gains for the general audience but for enthusiasts, these chips are pure gold to play around with.
