RE:"Do you really believe that Dresdon/Copper is not yielding substantial numbers of better speed bin splits?

I am convinced that it not only has it but that it is building inventory in at least two higher speed grades so that it can play its trump cards, when the opportunity presents itself, in "SPADES.""

Maybe so but I found it a little odd that Gateway was offering "Select" models with all thunderbirds except the 1000 Mhz model which is still a K75 core. This could suggest that the speed binning for T-bird isn't quite up to par yet. Then again, we don't know whether these are copper or aluminum chips that Gateway is using. At any rate, as it stands now, it appears that the T-bird doesn't speed bin any better than K75. I suppose we will know more when Dresden really gets going...
