TWY,

<A Coppermine 500E 1.60V @ 776MHz
A Coppermine 650E 1.65V @ 839Mhz

These two chips appear to be down binned as well.>

The difference is AMD hass been getting those kind of results with their quarter micron process *VERY EARLY* in Athlon's product life cycle.

<My guess is that Intel is NOW targeting a raw Fmax of around 850Mhz. The fast misses will ship as 800MHz parts in Feb and
everything on target or slower will be for 733MHz or below.>

Your guess in Intel's case may be right but it appears to me that you (and pretty much every other process guy on the thread) has consistantly underestimated Athlon frequencies to date - I sometimes wonder how lond this will continue.

<How high do the current Athlon 750s overclock??

I have not seem any datapoints to answer that question.
