Those complaining about the P2 965, read this:
Current Pentium E6500K overclocking performance seems the same as that of previous Pentium E5000 series.Unlocked multiplier doesnt bring bigger overclocking capacities.And Pentium E6500K default voltage has been pre increased.Consumers have smaller adjustment extent with increased power consumption.

From the article

Well intel have been selling cpu's on the back of phantom overclocks for years so no reason to change that particular selling point for them.

How many of your i7's really go to 4ghz? About the same number who got their Q6600's to 3.6ghz I bet, ie pretty far removed from the majority stuck at 3-3.2ghz.

They threw a bone to fans to retaliate against AMD selling unlocked chips at less than $1k a pop, but made sure they weren't special at all (read: not better chips at all). Allows them to silence people's moaning about no cheaper unlocked procs, and ensures they sell the same # of chips because if you still want a good one, you have to get a good one.
