re: "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?"

If you are using benchmark performance as your measure, then why does everyone care so much about MHz? And why talk about "speed bins?" The term is meaningless when you look at benchmark performance.

It seems to me that all else being equal MHz is the primary selling point of both AMD and Intel, and there must be some way to compare the chips' performance on a more normalized basis.
