Tim, <I would think that if AMD could make 1.5 ghz T-birds, that it would only be a small part of their bin splits. They would not have many to sell and probably would sell them at a big premium, maybe $2k+ per chip. I hope AMD can make chips this fast, but I think it is likely that AMD can not make production quantities of 1.5ghz chips. > I kind of share the thinking here. As I have said in earlier posts, if AMD were introducing parts for some low volume sectors (like Servers) then one could go for the highest speed grades and price them accordingly because the volumes in these segments are low and people will pay the ASPs.
