Thanks for the response. That makes sense, obviously you can pay a lot less and get more by overclocking the CPU. Then my question is, who actually buys these chips, and for what purpose?

Well, isn't this basic differential pricing? If there are customers who are willing to "pay as much as needed" for "the fastest chip they have", why wouldn't Intel offer it? It shouldn't be too expensive to "brand" yet another model, and there are enough enthusiasts to shell the required cash on this thing. $1K isn't that much, really.
