Re: "This is not an assumption. Just check out the tons of posts on overclocker sites over the last year. I have not seen such downbinning since the early Celeron days." Charles this is an assumption. How many times do people have to explain to you about the guardband needed for hot electrons and the degrading of performance over time? Just because someone overclocks a part doesn't mean it's been downbinned. I am the first to agree that downbinning does occur but you can't prove that based on the anecdotal claims of someone on a website. Jack up the Vcc, add extra cooling and any part can be overclocked, down binned or not. EP
