In that case, a chip can possibly be sold as a lower-speed processor, although intended to be higher-rated, along with others intended to be that way as long as it meets the lower qualifications
I think the difference here is that Qualcomm intends to rate all the 8650 chips at 1GHz, and the suggestion that HTC and Verizon would choose to put these chips that failed to meet that spec, and were subsequently given a rating of 768MHz (an un-listed, "B-stock-type" product) in their new, "Incredible," flagship phone is highly unlikely, especially since HTC is not doing the same with its other high-end devices.

They are creating a
higher rated processor just not a lower rated one.
Your argument that they aren't putting lower rated processors in high-end products is valid, but HTC and Verizon have also not underclocked their processors in high end devices, so who's to say one is more likely than the other.
Edit: (We know this isn't the case because another model doesn't exist...this was just my thinking when believing that a lower rated processor was being used)
