Aaron You got into this mire by posting <Re: "It seems to me that if AMD can't yield significant quantities at 400Mhz but Intel can at 500Mhz, doesn't this put them more than 2 speed bins away?"> It looks like AMD can yield significant quantities at 400Mhz, and 450MHz, and that their 400 MHz processor is faster in most important respects than the INTC 500 MHz processor. Doesn't that leave INTC at least one speed grade behind in process technology? How would you limit voltage? The manufacturers rate by defects over lifetime. How would you rate efficiency in a car if the fuel pressure at the injectors varied by - say 150 PSI. It is a meaningless question. The design limits the voltage and the fuel pressure. Youseless well knows that in the December mask fix the voltage path increase was the chosen method, and that the reliability will be there. tgptndr
