There is no evidence that a 768MHz Snapdragon is intentionally being produced by Qualcomm.
IMHO, whether the chip is under clocked or not is irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make. I'm saying that a 768MHz, factory rated snapdragon does not appear to exist. VZW/HTC are not likely to buy chips that failed testing at their targeted rating, and are essentially being sold out the factory back door for pennies on the dollar, instead of buying legitimate, rated 8650 chipsets that have been under clocked to fit the specific purpose that HTC/VZW have in mind.

I agree, I actually thought my last post was gonna be misleading so I went back and edited to say that's my reasoning (You just must have refreshed before I made the edit), when I believed the lower rated processor existed, but now that I know there is no such processor, I know that they aren't using a lower rated processor.
