Re: "I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but the point of that line was to show the silliness of saying that the volume of the highest speed processors is irrelevant" Here's what you said: "processor distributions don't follow a normal distribution and there is no correlation between the highest speed grade available and the average speed grade available" Your statement is wrong. Processor distributions do follow a normal distribution (when averaged out) and if you were to compare average speed distribution back when the highest speed bin was 500MHz, with the average speed distribution when the highest speed bin is 1.133GHz, you will see a distinct correlation. As the highest speed bin available increases, so does the average speed increase (or visa versa if you prefer). It may not scale exactly proportionately but it certainly isn't a random function. EP
