Apple could be getting specially binned 1.3 ghz chips, which would (somewhat) justify the price increase over the 1.2g ghz model, as it doesn't look like a standard chip.

The 5Y71 base clock is 1.2Ghz at a TDP of 4.5 W but can get to 1.4Ghz with the TDP at 6.0 Not sure how Apple got it at 1.3Ghz but thats what they claim.
 
That makes no sense. Terrible analogy and no, everyone doesn't get the same equipment. I'll play your game though. An SD cable box is cheaper than an HD box and a DVR HD box is more expensive then both. The Core M chips all cost the same amount of money.

Lmao off topic but best come back of the day
