Hans, <<Does AMD keep the highest bin-splits on stock for the time being? >>

Unlikely. AMD is not selling any higher MHz parts because they don't want to destabilize the market. Holding on to them for later would be illogical. They could be sold now as 800s for a good profit. When 900MHz is introduced it will inevitably depress prices and the 900s will probably sell at the same price as 800s do now.

AMD certainly took the downbinning approach with low speed Athlons when the yields were too good in the higher grades (overclockers cracking them open were finding they were internally marked as a couple of speed grades higher than externally).
