Well, that's why I started asking questions because I was thinking about that exact statement and how it doesn't make sense to me. If the frequency a chip runs at isn't even influenced by fabbing process, but rather by the quality of process, it'd stand to reason that it'd be easier to sell those chips at one frequency and adjust the price based not on the frequency but rather on the quality or something like that, no?
