So, the Intel engineers pushed the clock beyond the limit.  In essence, they
overclocked it.  You seem to think it's ok for Intel to do it, but that anyone
else who does it is risking catastrophic meltdown every time they turn on their
machine.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm intentionally using hyperbole.  I hope you get
the point.
