fyo Re..That might hint a yield problem, but not a bin split problem. The frequency distribution just isn't that wide.<<<<<<<

Or it could mean that AMD limited what they produced so they could keep loses at a reasonable limit. There wasn't a market for the extra chips, so why produce them? While the market speeded up lately, it takes time to up the production schedules, and their inventory might have been too limited to handle the surge; especially in the XP chips.

"That might hint a yield problem, but not a bin split problem. The frequency distribution just isn't that wide."

You mean that the frequency distribution is only some 266MHz wide? The AthlonXP 1500+ is clocked at 1.33GHz and the AthlonXP 1900+ is at 1.6GHz. That is a pretty narrow range when you look at the percentages.
