RE: [If you don't understand DOWNBINNING, then I'm afraid you don't understand the subtleties of semiconductor manufacturing, testing and binning.]

More importantly I understand the the market subtleties/conditions that ultimately drive the DOWNBINNING decision.

Just for the sake of discussion, how much flexibility does Intel have in DOWNBINNING the XEON 450 (512 cache) if the market strangely decides they don't really want it? (let's pretend also that Intel has no manufacturing problems with the Xeon)
