Would you even need a voltage increase to bump the turbo to 4GHz? [...I'm doubting you would] Considering Intel would charge a premium on par with their usual ridiculous markup for marginal increases, I can only guess that it isn't power or profit, but perhaps just some sappy sentimental rational about the number.
Sad there is not one hexcore, nor even a bump in cache on the top end. Hopefully by Broadwell I guess.
