Re: Equipment as standard/Options disabled
"Microprocessor manufacturers have often - particularly towards life-cycle end - marketed and labelled chips with a variety of speeds despite all being capable of running at the highest speed (or indeed above). A lot of 'over' clocking actually wasn't which is often why it worked well."
Not really the same as adding bits to a car though, is it?
Nothing changed in the process of fabbing the chips.
Just how the parts were binned.
So there's no extra cost involved at all.
