I tend to believe that AMD can sell a larger percentage because their products bin out higher, but it is a moot point. PIIIs (and Celerons at 0.18 micron) tend to bin out at around 866MHz or lower.

Do you seriously believe that? If so, then I have serious reservations regarding your level of knowledge about semiconductor fabrication...

So yeah, you can call me an AMDroid, but I think that I am a little above that. Admittedly, I will troll every once in a while, but I at least try to be objective. I think that the PIII bins well below what an Athlon will on the same geometries.

The P3 does bin below where the K7 bins at similar geometries, but I'd dare say not "well below." Remember, the gates on the K7 are currently running around 70 to get 1.6-ish GHz with precious little overclock . Tualatins have been overclocked to 1.5GHz with similar gates. I would think that the K7 core probably has at least a 100-200MHz advantage at a give gate length, but no more than 10-20% overall.
