"Just what do you mean by suggesting that Intel would manufacture any kind of product - just to throw it away afterward?"

As I have said before, both AMD and Intel have problems with binsplits. The competition on MHz have left both companies with a fair percentage of product that they cannot sell because of their binning out at un-economic speeds. I tend to believe that AMD can sell a larger percentage because their products bin out higher, but it is a moot point. PIIIs (and Celerons at 0.18 micron) tend to bin out at around 866MHz or lower. But, unfortunately for Intel, they don't sell very well. XBox is God send as a result. AMD chips tend to bin out higher for a variety of reasons, but AMD does not have a good outlet for those chips that don't bin out at over 900MHz.

So yeah, you can call me an AMDroid, but I think that I am a little above that. Admittedly, I will troll every once in a while, but I at least try to be objective. I think that the PIII bins well below what an Athlon will on the same geometries.
