How does this class as a blunder? It seems like a sensible business decision, if the 4gHz isn't going to be ready in time (of course R&D is not a precise science) then they're going to release a chip that is faster than current offerings but doesn't have the faster core.

Realistically there's little real-world difference now between, say, a 3gHz and 3.4gHz processor in a computer - which for consumers is actually a good thing as it prolongs the life-span of their PCs.
