  1. Reliability is not correlated. Reliability is more a factor of binning. Chip die have somewhat random quality so they sort them and lower quality chips are sold as lower end product. This lower end product has reduce performance by lowering clock and source voltage so even though they are lower quality their reliability actually improve because the silicon is not driven as hard as the top performing chips. The top performing chips is driven to their redline but since the silicon quality is better reliability is still good. Unless the product vendor decides to drive them pass their redline so that they can catch up to their competitors top performance. That is when reliability becomes an issue
