<Since the Chip ID easily allows the Chip maker to determine whether the chip came from a high yielding area or poor yielding area. This allows the chip manufacturer to know in advance how reliable the part will be.>

While this may have a lot of applications from the point-of-view of a chip fabrication plant, I doubt that the OEMs, and hence the end consumer, is going to make much use of the CPU ID in this aspect.

However, I'll bet hobbyists out there are going to try and decipher that CPU ID code to increase their chances of successfully overclocking Celerons to ridiculous speeds. It could go something like this: "If you want to overclock your Celeron to 1 GHz, make sure you buy a Celeron with a CPU ID that is divisible by the number 128."
