I was watching Linus' video about how Intel killed their own product lineup and then I saw this:

Is the information correct? According to Intel's website, the 7980XE base clock is 2.6GHz, not 3.2:

Don't get me wrong guys, I love Linus all of his content, I'm just confused now....

It's a mistake (don't know if it's intentional or unintentional).

 

The base clock of the 7980XE is 2.6GHz.
