What happens with the 900 MHz and 1 GHz Athlons?

A peace of math which determines the revenues of AMD and INTC (and the stock price) is how to handle the two basically incompatible curves:

1) The bin split curve: Bell shaped (Gaussian) Lots in the middle frequency, fewer and fewer on the high and the low end.

2) The Best sales price: (1/x like) Few high frequencies for the best paying customers, More at the middle frequencies and most at the lower frequencies for the bulk of the customers.

That's the first reason that processors are re-binned. The "bin-splits" are made more 1/x like simply because it's more profitable.

Hans.
