Ah.
Yes
Faster switching transistors @ lower voltage = bigger clocks.
From Anand:
How far Intel go is likely dependant upon how hard they have to go. Since approximately 20% of 2600K's are 5.0-5.7GHz capable outright, and could have been effectively binned at 4+GHz stock, it isn't unreasonable to assume IB is capable of that and then some.

And the Intel pdf (here).
