You mean 2.65 im guessing?
As for them not hitting that thats un true. Well they might not hit it using 1.35V but its still totally possible to hit 2.6-2.65 heck even 2.9Ghz under 1.5V and still have it cool. I'm running 2.65Ghz with 1.485V and I bearly break 40C full load, depending on how cool my place is, which is around 62-68C depending. Thats both processors at full load, and even during games just 1 CPU chugging with the graphics card going I don't even break 40C.
While the new ones might not clock as high some are still getting some impressive results under stock. One just recently was hitting 2.6Ghz if not mistaken on stock volts.
