Re: "So Intel does not produce a single chip that will run but not at a saleable speed?" Everyone produces defective parts. There are no doubt some outliers that would fit this description but they would be identified in two ways. First, a fab lot that showed it's process monitors to be outside the acceptable process window would be scrapped before it ever made it to wafer sort. Second, an individual die that had a problem running at frequency (due to a delay fault) would be caught at wafer sort and never packaged, which was the point missed by the original post from Jim "theregister" McMannis.
