<How come INTEL has no new speed grades while AMD is ramping up every couple of months.>

Here's a hint: Intel doesn't need to underclock the processor bus down by 5% just to crank up the MHz by 5%. They used to back in the Pentium days, but that was before Intel enjoyed high yields.

If AMD were truly yielding very well, there would be no need for them to create new "speed grades" by cranking down the processor bus. Maybe once AMD does get good yields, those 333, 366, and 380 (and perhaps 428?) speed grades will disappear. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see.
