Re: "And what does the word binsplit mean anyway? "

Ratbert - binsplit means the speed distribution of good parts. Total binsplit always adds up to 100% regardless of yield, which is the ratio of good units/total units with no regard to speed.

Example: 500 total die on a wafer. 300 good ones 200 bad ones. Yield = 60%. Off those 300 good units 10% are 1 GHz, 20% are 933MHz and 70% are 866MHz. All add up to 100%.

Numbers used above are purely for example.

RatBrain - Re: "That a "special edition" Gigamine finally turned up in Fry's is good. But why does Intel's document for their next steppping (C0) only go up to 933MHz? Perhaps a "special edition" it will remain."

Why don't you buy couple of GigAMines next month and check out their stepping - that will answer your question.

By the way RatBrain - I haven't seen any PC OEMs announce Duron PC's yet - have you?
