PB RE: ".....Intel does not release specific data....." Thanks for you response. Clearly I do not have a tech background but I understood that within a yield there is an allocation of chips to different levels of MHz performance. That the better the process the more true the chips. In the article that i think you posted yesterday, it said that the yields for cumine were below intc's acceptable levels which would indicate that intc has quantitative data that determines whether the yield is acceptable or not. For an example hypothetically if 40% of a yield performs at 500 MHz and 50% at 600 MHz, then the yield would meets intc's requirements. I realize that you probably do not know or can not give the specifics for cumine but is there a general rule of thumb. I apologize if i have butchered terminology in my effort to get my question across. Thanks for any help you can provide. ted
