Preferably they should advertise the max clock as what the CPU can handle under a sustained load on all cores with their stock/factory air cooler. If it can only handle 4.3Ghz across all cores all the time with that setup, then that should be the advertised speed. If only two cores out of 8 are capable of going higher than 4.3Ghz and can only do that for a short time before being throttled, it's extremely disingenuous to call those "enhanced cores" the max speed of the CPU.
I know that they shouldn't be advertising "overclock before thermal throttle speed that only 1/4 of the CPU can even reach" as the max speed of the CPU. That's like advertising the 0-100 speed of a car and ignoring that it had Nitrous Oxide and was driving down Pikes Peak.
