Yes, but even if you design a wafer to certain parameters, you're going to get certain variance in the end product. If you produce 10 wafers of CPUs, your CPUs are not going to perform at the same clock speeds. Mathematical accuracy and realistic accuracy are never going to match up with each other.
Anyways, theoretically, 0.999999~ is NOT equal to 1.00, EVER. Realistically, 0.999999~ is equal to 1.00. Both answeres (yes it's equal to one, and no it's not equal to one) are valid, depending on the perspective.
