Re: typical guard band on these processors is 5% to 10%...

Thanks for your post, I know nothing in this area.

If temp is taken into account, is another 5 or 10% added on? So if a process is expected to yield 800MHZ CPUs at 70C, then the chips should run (briefly, at least) at 900 before errors occurred and (at least some of them) should run at 1000MHZ at 45C before errors occurred?

Or does the 5 to 10% take into account temperature?

Thanks,

Dan
