Re: "Where did you get your values: '1. AMD is getting significant yield at 1.1GHz, 85C, 1.65V. (Please spare the binsplit vs. yield lecture.)'"

I asked Scumbria the same question and his lack of an answer leads the reader to conclude he got it from where the sun don't shine. As usual.

Reynoso,

AMD's data sheet specifies a voltage of 1.75 volts for the PGA Athlon (aka Thunderbird) at 900 or 1000 MHz - which is the same as Intel's 1130 MHz Pentium III.

Where did you see that spec? I remember reading that the Copper T-Birds dropped the voltage back to 1.65V, but I don't remember my source. I haven't been able to find anything about Copper T-Birds on their web site.

I did find a 1.7V spec for 850MHz Aluminum Athlons:

Welcome to SI. I remember a rather hot, but fun, summer day I spent in Reynoso about a decade ago.
