Hello Epinephrine, Good to see you back posting again, I've been wondering where you've been! How have you been? Re: I think that AMD is binning higher speeds... What you say makes sense, it's possible that AMD is now shipping higher speeds to OEMs at this momment so those faster parts will actually be available for sale when announced. This procedure was once used by another competitor in the industry but was abandoned recently in favor of vapor releases which couldn't or haven't been honored. Kindest regards, CrazyMan

Epinephrine AMD must provide speeds that meet the OEM's existing product lineup so that they don't make this transition overly disruptive. There is no goodness in making things unecessarily difficult for your OEM customers. Since they have to provide the lower speed versions of Athlon to meet their OEM's existing sweet spots while the infrastructure migrates and OEMs adjust their product offerings, what sense does it make to cannibalize the ASP's on those chips by jumping the gun on higher speeds? Good point....I am one of those that would have liked to see AMD jump to the 1.5 G in order to strongly trump Intel. However I did not take the position of the OEM's into consideration. Good to have you post.....you've been MIA. ted
