Re: "Binsplits refers to the sorting characteristics. It is correct to say "yielding" or "not yielding" at a specific target frequency." Binsplits have nothing to do with sorting characteristics (at least in the world of AMD or Intel processors). It is incorrect to say "yielding" or "not yielding" at a specific target frequency unless you are trashing all units that don't perform at that speed. In our industry "yield" refers to good die irrespective of frequency. Binsplit refers to speed distribution irrespective of yield. You could have a "yield" of 50% with a "binsplit" of 25%(of that 50%) to 1GHz. Meaning that 12.5% of the raw units were 1GHz units. I know designers never deal with this manufacturing terminology so I just wanted to clear that up. EP
