Re: speed grades

The fact of the matter is, Intel picks up one speed grade on AMD simply by virtue of the scale of their production. If two companies both have the same speed bin distribution (say 30% 266 MHz, 40% 300 MHz, 25% 350 MHz, and 5% 400 MHz), but one company has six fabs and the other has one, guess which company is going to introduce the 400 MHz parts first?

You guessed it, the one with enough production volume to make it worthwhile to introduce the chip into the channel.
