It seems to me, quite possible, that some of the chips could be clocked 
at 470 MHz or even higher.  When they say 463 MHz, they mean that ALL 
the chips so designated can be successfully clocked at 463 MHz.  Now if 
you tested all those chips you would probably find that many of them 
could be successfully overclocked if you were very careful about keeping 
the temperature of the chip withing limits.
