Elmer, How long does it take to do a thermal dissipation test on a finished CPU? Does Intel do 100 million of them? Or do they do parametric testing and from that with reference to a data base of tested parts determine that this will be a hot part and that will be a cool part and rate them accordingly? I suspect it is done this way. It would take 10-20 minutes for an equilibium to be reached, so they must have a data base of voltage versus current versus speeds of clock and they run those points and place the part in that "data cube" and from there they mark and sell it. Now one of you works for a railroad, and i do not think it is Petz. Bill
