Dear Wanna_bmw: Your point has some merit, but I think the reason for the 12 entry disparity is a sign that a processor is not generally available. Take the difference for a 1G P3 or 1.4G Tbird. All of these show a small slope for the 12 entries. This shows that the selling price is a consensus price since all vendors have an equal chance at the chips. Another factor is that Intel speed bin includes four types of CPUs, OEM (tray) short warranty, OEM 1 year warranty, Retail box and retail box with RDRAM. The later should be excised as you do not just get a CPU, but a fan and high priced RDRAM. Another problem with AMD is that the listings are separated by bus speed and in the case of 1 and 1.2 at 266 accidentally include MP Palominos with the Tbirds. JC's site has a weekly review of these prices with the appropriate safeguards I think. He averages the first page. But, I do take exception to your claim that the ASP price is above the lowest entry. Historically for both Intel and AMD, the ASP is below the one in Pricewatch and by less than 10% on generally available CPUs (those which the warrantees are short and do not include a HSF or anything else).
