>I think the bottom 2 speed grade will be for low power consumption. I don't think so: 1) The modelnumbers don't give any indication that they have a different TDP. 2) The pricing doesn't reflect any lower power consumption advantage. >As far as top bins, if Intel is using the same die for Woodcrest as Conroe, there should be a lot of parts from which to cherry pick higher speed grades. Woodcrest is launched at 1 bin higher than Conroe, so it's more the opposite. Historically, desktop CPU's have been launched first at a particular speed, and server equivalents launched later. This time it's the opposite. Probably because of the TDP difference between Woodcrest and Conroe. I wonder why Intel made any difference. They have years of P4 infrastructure available to support 100 Watt TDP processors.
