I've heard they are having a hard time yielding chips at 2.13 GHz much less 3.33 GHz.

Yeah, sure. That's why these chips overclock to over 3GHz on air at default voltage. And with a little voltage and more powerful cooling, the overclocking is already approaching 5GHz, before the parts have even launched.

Furthermore, Intel just recently increased the % of Core2 predicted for year's end. Doesn't exactly suggest difficulty yielding 2.13GHz parts, now does it?

As for cache, it has built in redundancy in its design, so that shouldn't affect yields much at all. The non-L2-cache die area is less than 90mm^2, which is very reasonable.
